Small Fry Pick of the Week: Shimmer & Splash

Shimmer & Splash by Jim Arnosky

What's that lurking in the water?  A dolphin? A manta ray?  A shark?  You'll know once you've come up close and personal with the incredible ocean dwellers in this book, with their long dorsal fins, paddle-like flippers, rudder-shaped tails, and vice-like jaws.  Open the giant fold-out pages to see nearly 200 sea creatures, from a tiny fiddler crab to an enormous killer whale.  Many of them are painted life-size, showing every incredible detail.

Bring the ocean right into your room-or use this book as a guide for your next expedition!
