The Life Cycle of a Sea Horse - Book
$8.95
The sea horse has one of the most unusual life cycles in the ocean: the female transfers her eggs to the male, and he carries the developing young inside his body. Bobbie Kalman's The Life Cycle of a Sea Horse, part of Crabtree's Life Cycle Series, follows sea horses from egg to adult.
Children learn where sea horses live, how males become "pregnant," how the young, called colts, survive in the ocean, and how pollution and the destruction of coral reefs threaten them. The 32-page book pairs full-color photographs with easy-to-read text for grades 3 to 6.
