Come take a swim with freshwater creatures from around the world! Meet a fish that has no eyes and one that has four of them. Get to know an eel that carries enough electricity to light up a light bulb and a glacier-dwelling worm with blood that works like antifreeze.

Jerry Pallotta has done it again! The acclaimed alphabet-book author has joined forces with illustrator David Biedrzycki to create an exquisite and informative introduction to freshwater dwellers.
A is for Amazon River Dolphin. Whales do not live in fresh water, but there are freshwater dolphins. Amazon River Dolphins are only about half as long as their ocean-swimming cousins.
