An award-winning beginner's guide to the natural world of fish. From Cathryn and John Sill, creators of the About... and About Habitats series.

An "NSTA Recommends" book from the National Science Teachers Association

With beautifully detailed, realistic paintings, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill introduces readers to the diversity of the fish population, from an Arctic char to a Porcupine fish. An afterword provides more details, inspiring further learning.

Part of the award-winning About... series, About Fish is ideal for casual exploration as well as for early childhood and elementary units in science, environment, and marine life.
