Description

This title from the acclaimed Life Cycles series takes young readers through the stages of life that all plants and animals share – “birth,” growth, and adulthood. Colorful photographs accompany a rich, flowing narrative that contains a wealth of information in an easy-to-access format.

Detailed illustrations bring each phase to life, showcasing the emergence of the alevin with its yolk sac providing initial nourishment, followed by the fry as it ventures out to feed. Stunning photographs capture the parr stage, where camouflage markings aid survival, and the smolt stage, marked by physiological changes that prepare the young salmon for their migration to the ocean. As adults, these magnificent creatures embark on an epic return to their natal streams, driven by instinct and the imperative to reproduce, completing the cycle and ensuring the continuation of their species.
