Book excerpt: Male sea horses carry eggs inside a special pouch. When the eggs hatch, tiny sea horses swim out of the pouch! This is one of many parts of the sea horse life cycle explored in this title. Leveled text and vivid images combine to show off the sea horse from egg to adulthood. Along the way, special features highlight the animal’s diet, size, and life phases. A full-page feature at the end of the book visually illustrates the life cycle. Readers will love exploring these unique sea creatures!
