Let's Take a Field Trip to a Tide Pool by Kathy Furgang |
|
A tide pool is not an easy neighborhood to live in. Twice a day, waves hit you hard. Ouch! Sea urchins have discovered a special trick to stay alive. They carve a hole in the rocks with their hard shells. When the waves come, the urchins go inside the rock. Smart! |

Oceans Atlas by John Woodward |
|
Here is a book with a bonus: an interactive oceans CD-ROM and there are great pictures, too. In the deep sea, food is scarce so the creatures that live there have adapted by having long teeth, huge mouths, and stretchy balloon-like stomachs that allow them to eat animals that are bigger than they are. |
