Why read it?

1 author picked Project Seahorse as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Eye-popping photography draws readers in, inviting them to witness the charming seahorse’s life, habitat, and precarious circumstances; to watch scuba-diving scientists collect crucial research; and to understand efforts to educate children and communities about aquacultural practices that help protect seahorses and their underwater environment.

From Lisa's list on marine-life magic for children.
