Book excerpt: "This veritable marine treasure trove of a book is richly illustrated by the author, with fifty of the most beautiful, easily encountered, and sometimes astonishing marine organisms found on British coasts, from seemingly exotic seahorses and starfish, to peculiar sea-potatoes and sea lemons.0Together, these characterful critters paint a colourful picture of life between the tides: starfish that, upon losing an arm, can grow a new one; baby sharks hatching from their fancifully named "mermaid' purses"; ethereal moon jellyfish pulsating in the current and, on some seabeds, even coral. Beachcombing, overturning a boulder or simply parting the strands of seaweed in a rock pool offer a glimpse into a thriving underwater world of curious creatures. 0Inspired by the Oxford University of Natural History's exceptionally rich zoology collections, which contain millions of specimens amassed from centuries of expeditions, this book tells the story of life on the seashore."--Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: CURIOUS CREATURES is a beautifully provocative view of nature's most unusual and memorable creatures. Fish that fly, birds that are flightless, beautiful but deadly insects, snakes that play dead, and well-camouflaged predators - no matter how bizarre in form or seemingly odd in behavior, each animal has a very specific reason for looking and acting as it does. This book explains striking behavior and vividly portrays animals that have specially adapted to their specific environments. Within you'll meet remarkable creatures that have developed odd physical features such as colorful faces and pendulous noses, poisonous tentacles, razor-sharp tusks and teeth, and brush-like antennae. The reasons for such strange characteristics are many, including deception, defense, camouflage and unique courtship displays. Illuminating in both words and remarkable pictures, CURIOUS CREATURES is just one title in the acclaimed Creatures of the Ocean series. For those who want to delve into the amazing and sometimes mysterious world of ocean life, these books are a wonderful resource filled with scientific fact and beautiful photography.

Each creature is introduced with intriguing art and text, and the question, “Am I the strangest thing in the sea?” Open the gatefold, and the actual creature in its habitat and a full description appear, along with the answer: No, it’s not the strangest thing in the sea. That is, until the last creature, which is the strangest. But what could it be? What’s cooler than bizarre things that are real? Kids will want to dive right in!
