Fourteen Ways of Looking at Jellyfish celebrates these extraordinary marine animals which have no brains, hearts, or lungs and are 95 percent water, yet mesmerize us with their graceful movements and translucent bodies. Learn about jellyfish that glow in otherworldly light.  Learn about jellyfish with deadly venom, and other amazing abilities.

Weatherford brings poetry and playfulness to natural science as she shares her fascination with jellyfish.  I loved Ibatoulline's illustrations that blend shimmering bioluminescence to stylish folklore and myth and portray the mysterious jellyfish.
