"It may be electrifying, but it's not lightning--it's an electric eel! . . . Readers of this book will get familiar with this freaky fish. Even those who don't love science class will find electric eels' air-breathing and unusual breeding behavior (spit is involved!) fascinating. Learning about the electric eel is an engaging introduction to ecosystems, habitats, anatomy, biology, and so much more crucial curricular content"--Provided by publisher.
