Seahorse: The Shyest Fish in the Sea
Author: Chris Butterworth
Illustrator: John Lawrence
Publisher: Walker
Few readers may know that there are many different kinds of seahorses, some of which are carefully delineated at both ends of this book. The narrative folows the life cycle of a Barbour's seahorsein prose which dances across the page integrated with John Lawrence's distinctive illustrations in verdant shades, in which he uses the technique of wood engraving. Interesting facts about seahorses are interspersed in a different and smaller font.
