Jerry Pallotta's The Underwater Alphabet Book gives three to four sentence descriptions of oceanic fish from the Angelfish to the Zebra Pipefish. Full-page, full-color illustrations make this book a welcome addition to any unit on the ocean or fish. (The artwork is no where more vivid than on the final page where the words "The End" appear in an open-mouth view of a shark, appearing to lunge at the reader.) Pallotta has published several science books in the alphabet format for the elementary grades, including ones on dinosaurs, wildflowers, reptiles, frogs and mammals. He knows how to make science fun for children and adults. Don't miss his books!

"V is for Veined Shrimp... Veined Shrimp are one of many ocean creatures who are cleaners. They clean the bodies and even inside the mouths of other fish."/"K is for King Angelfish. King Angelfishes are territorial. They act like kings. They do not like other King Angels in their territory." Brief entries contain interesting biological notes. Bright colors on semi-gloss pages convey the colorings of much of the sea life, especially tropical fish, refereed to by letters of the alphabet.
