Today, Dr. Ick is describing the strange creatures of the sea. The deeper you go the stranger they are, because they have adapted to their ecosystems. Readers meet an oarfish (photo included), blobfish, and the red-lipped batfish among others Rather than having a glossary, unfamiliar words are defined with pronunciations in context. Hawkins utilizes a combination of photography and illustration to represent the sea creatures. There's a fun "create your own sea creature" activity included.
A read-to-learn level two - has a lot of text, but the level isn't too difficult - a great confidence builder. Dr. Ick is illustrated with brown skin.
