Summary

Jellyfish don't have eyes. They don't have brains, either. So how do they catch food and stay safe from enemies? The answers are just some of the fascinating facts children will discover as they enter the weird and watery world of these gooey sea creatures. In Gooey Jellyfish, large, colorful photos and clear, grade-appropriate text will engage emergent readers as they learn about the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of these unusual and unique underwater invertebrates.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 1-3-Appealing introductions. Each overview gets right to the point with simple sentences that define and describe the animals' features. To reinforce the written definition, a splashy full-color photograph appears on the facing page. Although Lunis points out that the term "sea star" is preferred over starfish in Prickly Sea Stars, Gooey Jellyfish states that "jellyfish" is still used even though jellies are definitely not fish. All in all, these are fun and useful sources of information for young scientists and beach goers.-Frances E. Millhouser, formerly at Chantilly Regional Library, Fairfax County, VA (c) Copyright 2010.
