A jellyfish is not a fish by John F. Waters is an informational book about jellyfish. The book lists fun facts such as "Jellyfish swim in cold oceans and warms seas. The book compares the structure of fish to jelly fish. Other facts include listing dangerous poisonous jellyfish and reminds us that some are not poisonous and can "even be picked up but don't pick them up unless you know which ones are safe"

I found this book to be very informational. It would be interesting to read about jellyfish when doing a sea life or summer theme. Or a field trip/vacation to the ocean.

Story extenders can be sponge paining jellyfish then drawing their tentacles. A parachute moves like jelly fish catching water to move itself, parachute catch air. show more Parachute play could be a an outside activity. Jelly fish are colorful, discussing their colors and graphing favorites on a group chart for group time. show less
