What Makes a Fish a Fish?

Produced, written, and narrated by veteran dive photographer Annie Crawley, What Makes a Fish a Fish?—part of the three-volume Dive Into Your Imagination series—introduces kids to the amazing lives of a myriad of different fish. Young viewers will learn about the basic biology of fish (hence the title), how fish stay clean, how they hide in a reef, and why fears about sharks are actually overblown. Simple but smart, and stylistically presented like a children's book (“silver fish, gold fish, hairy fish, scary fish!”), the program features both English and Spanish language soundtracks. DVD extras include a transcript, as well as a “meet the filmmakers” section. Other titles in the series include: Who Lives in the Sea? and Dive Into Diversity. Boasting excellent production values—Crawley's photography is beautiful—this very affordable title is highly recommended. Editor's Choice. Aud: K, E, P. (E. Gieschen)
