About Mollusks: A Guide for Children - About. . .

AUTHOR AND FORMER ELEMENTARY school teacher Cathryn Sill and her husband, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill, offer young readers a first glimpse into the natural world of mollusks in their latest book in the acclaimed Aboutâ?¦ series.

In simple, easy-to-understand language children learn what mollusks are, how they look, how they move, what they eat, and where they live.

The beautifully detailed, full-color illustrations reflect the vast diversity of the mollusk population--from a sixteen-foot-long Giant Pacific Octopus to an eight-inch-long BananaSlug--and present each in its natural habitat. The afterword, which provides details on the mollusks featured, will inspire young readers to learn more.
