| Agatha May and the Anglerfish by Nora Morrison; illustrated by Mika SongWhat it's about: To her teacher and classmates, Agatha May appears messy, inattentive, and odd. But a research presentation on her favorite animal -- the toothy, bioluminescent deep-sea anglerfish -- gives Agatha May a platform to shine.
How it's told: in bouncy rhyme that's ripe for reading aloud, with (non-rhyming) anglerfish facts at the end.
Who it's for: champions of special interests, and curious kids who thrive on independent exploration. |
