Learning about salmon

"The Salmon," by Sabrina Crewe, is a good book for children. The book combines a simple text with many full-color photographs, and also includes non-photographic illustrations by Colin Newman. This book focuses on the sockeye salmon.The book begins with a female salmon who has laid her eggs. We see the tiny salmon embryos in their transparent eggs. The book follows the salmon through their entire life cycle. Other helpful features of the book include a glossary, an index, a map showing the habitat and migratory routes of the sockeye salmon, and a diagram showing each part of a salmon's external body and its function. Overall, a good educational resource.
