A solid intro to salmon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
"Salmon," by Ron Hirschi, is an excellent educational book for younger readers. A "Carolrhoda Nature Watch Book," it is packed full of information. Subjects covered include the animals' geographic range, anatomy, and life cycle. The book also discusses both the prey the salmon seek and the predators which in turn try to eat them. Especially interesting are the comparitive chart of different salmon species, and the information about conservationists' efforts to help salmon.The book is full of excellent full-color photos. Many of the photos are quite striking, such as one of a bald eagle feasting on a dead salmon. The book also includes a glossary and index. Overall, a good book, and especially recommended for young children with an interest in marine life.
