| Grade 4-8-This fascinating introduction to the giant squid (Architeuthis dux), which has never been seen alive, discusses what scientists have been able to determine about its diet, anatomy, and reproduction by studying dead specimens and the species' 500 smaller relatives. Exceptional full-color photos accompany the clear and concise text that often quotes researchers from the Smithsonian and around the world. Scientific words are highlighted in red and are further described in the glossary, which also includes a pronunciation guide. A first purchase due to the high quality of presentation as well as the absence of other titles on the subject.

| As a longtime fan of cephalopods in general and squids in particular, I was very impressed by this book. It's quite good at being accessible to readers of a fairly young age while not "dumbing down" the science at all. It has a variety of color plates, both from giant squid dissections (from the lab of Clyde Roper, one of the world's foremost experts on the giant squid) and from pictures of other squids in their natural environment. (Until recently, no one had ever seen or photographed a giant squid in its environment at all, so showing smaller squids is really the best way to illustrate these amazing animals... and Ms. Markle is careful to describe which pictures are giant squids and which are smaller ones.)
This is a great book to get for a budding marine biologist... I expect it's interesting enough to hold the attention of a lot of kids, but it will particularly appeal to those who are excited to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium or watch Jaques Cousteau documentaries.
It's important to note that this is really a biology book, and it does show photographs of dissected animals. I don't find it disturbing at all, but for someone extremely squeamish, that could be an issue. |
