Books with title Life in an Aquarium

Not content to stay on dry land, the Life-Size phenomenon leaves the zoo for a visit to the aquarium. From the clownfish to the killer whale, sea otter to walrus, young readers will see some of their favorite animals from a perspective than they've ever had before. With informative, fun facts accompanying the stellar photographs of each animal, Life-Size Aquarium brings readers eye-to-eye with 19 different animals, including a leafy sea dragon, a luna lionfish, a humphead wrasse, two different varieties of penguins, a sea turtle, a jellyfish, a spider crab, a sea otter, and more. As in previous volumes, three of the animals in this book — a walrus, a killer whale, and a dolphin — spring out of the book in oversized gatefolds.

Life in an Aquarium is aligned to the Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts, addressing Literacy.RI.2.3 and Literacy.L.2.1e. Readers will follow a student's field trip to an aquarium, gaining an understanding of saltwater habitats and food chains through full-page color photographs along with narrative nonfiction text. This book should be paired with “My Aquarium" (978147772251) from the Rosen Common Core Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
