SuitabookWhy do fish have gills?
Pat Jacobs
- Reading
- Choose a contents heading that matches your child’s curiosity, then read that section together. Pause to connect its examples with the book’s wider questions about fish features and survival.
- Themes
- Evolution and adaptation: The book describes how fish have evolved and adapted to survive in changing environments. This is presented as science information about change and survival, rather than as a stated recommendation or value judgement.
- Worth knowing
- Self-defence and “deadly creatures” are among the topics. If your child is sensitive to animal danger, you might check how these are presented before reading together.
