WHAT FISH ARE SAYING by @kirstenpendreigh.bsky.social is full of fabulous facts and fun to read. Katie Melrose's pictures are bright and delightful. Love this fantastic #nonfiction #kidlit for curious kids (and adults)! πŸ“šπŸ‘

Front view of a rimless glass 16 gallon aquarium, with deep substrate, filled with water to maybe 4 inches below the edge. There's a tree-shaped piece of manzanita wood in the middle, a stack of slate made into a waterfall on the left, and several rocks. It is filled with a variety of plants, including floating plants, and lit from above by LED lights. You can see a few small glad and snails. There's also an ammonia monitor stuck to the front glass.
