NZ Post Book Awards finalist - Non Fiction category


What is a fish?
by Feana Tu'akoi designed by Vasanti Unka

This book is full of beautiful, bright, clear photographs and easy to read text suitable for the younger child. The author builds up a profile of exactly what makes a fish unique by looking at each specific characteristic, eg: fins. It is a great addition to the Scholastic 'What is a...?' series.

I found this book fascinating as I hadn't realised that there was so much to deciding what was a fish. Love the illustrations and the concept for the whole series.

I liked the part about the backbones. I liked how they had a big photo of the fish and lots of other smaller ones to show the example of the fish.

This book has interesting photos of all kinds of creatures, if you were doing a poster or research on sea creatures it would answer your questions very well.
