The Underwater Alphabet Book


This is another Pallotta Alphabet book. This book focuses on coral reefs and the animals around them. Every letter has a different fish although the pictures for Y and Z are the same because Sea Horses and Pipefish look the same. Yes, some of the letters are dependent on colors like the Yellow Sea Horse. This is another book I am going to use in my Ocean unit. I will use it when talking about other parts of the ocean as well as describing different kinds of fish. The illustrations and descriptions of fish are key in this book. Students researching a particular fish will find great visuals here.
