The Nature Kid’s Guide to Stingrays: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Stingrays!

Whoosh! Something flat and wide lifts silently off the sandy ocean floor, spreads its wings, and glides away like a shadow. It’s a stingray, and it was hiding right next to your feet the whole time.

There’s way more to stingrays than their famous sting. These incredible ocean hunters can sense the electricity given off by animals buried in the sand, crush clam shells with flat teeth, and grow a brand new barb if their old one breaks off.

“The Nature Kid’s Guide to Stingrays” is written for curious kids ages 7 to 12 who want to know what makes these ocean gliders so extraordinary. How does a stingray find food buried deep in the sand in total darkness? Why do hammerhead sharks have stingray barbs stuck in their faces? And how can a manta ray the size of a school bus eat nothing but tiny floating specks?

Short sentences and surprising facts fill every page. Your child will discover that stingrays don’t have a single bone in their body, that a group of rays is called a fever, and that spotted eagle rays sometimes leap completely out of the water and belly flop back in. They’ll learn how stingrays blast sand away like a leaf blower to uncover buried prey, how they squeeze under coral ledges to hide from sharks, and how they rest stacked on top of each other like pancakes on the seafloor.

A book for every kid who has ever stood at the ocean’s edge and wondered what’s out there beneath the surface.

Flat wings, hidden stingers, and a whole book full of wild facts your child will want to share.
