This Is a Seahorse

ILA 2021 Children's and Young Adults Book Award - Primary Nonfiction

A disgruntled seahorse fact-checks a school report about him.

When a child writes a report about a seahorse, the creature himself has a few things to say about the animals he's compared to. First of all, he is nothing like a land horse. His tail is much more useful than an opossum's tail. And his snout fits his face perfectly—unlike an anteater's snout.

Delivering fascinating facts along the way, the seahorse sets the record straight about what makes his species so special.​
