About Mollusks: A Guide For Children
Cathryn Sill, John Sill
Hardcover
(Peachtree Publishers, March 30, 2005)
AUTHOR AND FORMER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER Cathryn Sill and her husband, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill, offer young readers a first glimpse into the natural world of mollusks in their latest book in the acclaimed About... series. In simple, easy-to-understand language children learn what mollusks are, how they look, how they move, what they eat, and where they live. The beautifully detailed, full-color illustrations reflect the vast diversity of the mollusk population--from a sixteen-foot-long Giant Pacific Octopus to an eight-inch-long BananaSlug--and present each in its natural habitat. The afterword, which provides details on the mollusks featured, will inspire young readers to learn more.
