Over 600 million years ago, long before dinosaurs, jellyfish were already swimming in the waters.

Based on the author’s experience, this book is told from the perspective of the author as a young girl snorkeling with her aunt and explores fascinating features of various jellyfish species from around the world.

“A thorough introduction for middle grade readers and a useful addition to collections.”
