How do we learn about animals that are tiny enough to slip through the eye of a needle? Mary Cerullo's text answers intriguing questions about these tiny ocean creatures, while Bill Curtsinger's extraordinary photographs serve up tantalizing images of an amazing "sea soup."
Brief description: Bill Curtsinger, like many explorers before him, first traveled to Antarctica as a young sailor. He was in the Navy Combat Camera Group, assigned to photograph the work of National Science Foundation researchers. In the years since, Bill's photography has appeared in numerous books and magazines, including National Geographic, Life, Time, Newsweek, Outside, Natural History, and Smithsonian.
Review Quotes: A fascinating look at a watery zoo of creatures whose ecological importance is far beyond the measure of their size.-- "School Library Journal"
