Jellyfish gels!

So much terminology, it is overwhelming to a "senior citizen", no less a child in the 4-8 age bracket! BUT -- this is an excellent book!I am moving to the gulfcoast region and have only witnessed the carcasses of jellyfish, as a child, dotting the shores of Staten Island and Long Beach Island; and when a hurricane was "coming in" at the Jersey shore in the early 2000's where I actually saw them at a distance in the water. I was told they "balloon", and I decided it was time to read about them and came across this book in the library in which I am a Children's Librarian and bought this book for the library in 2004. A compendium of "everything I needed to know" about jellyfish and more. What I though particularly of interest: "The compass jellyfish has lines on its bell that make it look like the face of a compass. This jellyfish starts off as male, becomes both male and female, and then turns into a female jellyfish."[page 37.] Great for the bookshelf of a budding oceanologist, or oceanographer!
