Those Wonderous Jellies

Magnificant photos and simple wonderful thoughts regarding jellyfish! The author does not fill the pages with words but instead allows the reader to enjoy the full page color photos. The author does however, include fantastic thought provoking ideas and insights into the world of jellyfish by allowing the reader to try and imagine just what it must be like to be a jellyfish. The author has captured truly glorious photos of all sorts of jellies. This book is written in a very simplistic way and is perfect for the biggest jellyfish fan that I know - my 7 year old son! We love this book and couldn't be more pleased.
