Stewart reveals how fish extract oxygen from water in this title from the Tell Me Why, Tell Me How series. Beginning with an explanation of why all animals need oxygen and how humans breathe, Stewart goes on to discuss some of the ways fish have adapted to life underwater, including swim bladders and gills. Chapters are kept short, and they include follow-up questions that check readers' comprehension of the material. Beautiful, full-color, captioned photos appear on nearly every page, breaking up the text and offering visual context to this somewhat complex topic. A classroom activity, a glossary, and a bibliography complete this book, which is tailor-made for young report writers. Kay WeismanCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
