Bioluminescence benefits animals in many ways. Some animals with this ability use their light to lure prey, distract predators, or to attract a mate. Learn more about how animals use bioluminescence to help them survive in their environments. Meets Next Generation Science Standards.
Scientific concepts such as bioluminescence and regeneration are explained at an appropriately introductory level. Well-chosen images of a seven-legged spider, a fluorescent tree frog, and other eye-catching examples effectively support the text. . . .Several of the topics, such as water bears and deep-sea dragonfish, are not often covered in children's books. Well-conceived presentations about fascinating creatures. Great picks for elementary schoolers.-- "School Library Journal"
