📖 Good Eating: The Short Life of Krill

Have you ever thought about a tiny animal that feeds one of the biggest creatures on Earth? Well, this book is about a krill living in the freezing Antarctic ocean. They go through the stages of how a krill becomes a krill, while also telling us how krills survive in the cold, what they eat, and what animals eat them! Creatures like penguins, seals, fish, seagulls, even whales depend on krill for food. After many weeks of a baby krill's shell cracking, it finally becomes an adult krill with all 26 legs! Through this book, you learn that even though a krill may be small, it has a huge responsibility in the food chain. At the end of this book, the author included fun facts about krill, like how they are able to glow in the dark and there are over 80 species of krill in the world. I recommend this book because it is very informative while keeping it fun at the same time. With funny pictures and interesting facts, you should definitely read this book!
