Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
This delightful book, aimed at preschoolers and kindergarteners, clearly and elegantly presents the world of the starfish to its readers. It is part of the basic science concepts series, "Let's-Read-and-Find-Out." With the help of Robin Brickman's enticing collage illustrations, Ms. Hurd introduces and explains about all types of starfish, such as the sunflower, the basket star, brittle stars and mud stars. Children will also learn what starfish eat, how they lay their eggs, where they may be found and even what happens when they lose one of their rays. This title, along with the others in this engaging science series, would be a welcome addition to any classroom library. 2000 (orig. 1962), HarperTrophy, $15.95 and $4.95. Ages 3 to 6. Reviewer: Catherine C. Wright
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2-This updated version has retained most of the text and all of the poetry of the original (HarperCollins, 1962; o.p.). The starfish is referred to as "it," instead of "he"; the words "crawl" and "pull" have replaced "hump" to describe how a starfish attacks a clam; and the arrangement has been slightly altered for a more logical flow of ideas. The variety of starfish that one might encounter, their life cycle, and how they eat and grow are all included. The most compelling reason to replace your older edition is the beauty of Brickman's illustrations. Lovely cut-paper collages placed on multicolored, watercolor ocean backgrounds make this easy-to-read title a treat for the eye.-Eunice Weech, M. L.
