Sea Cucumber Kingdom

by Tatsuo Motokawa

illus. by Mika Koshida

The mysterious sea cucumber is the unlikely star of this unique picture book, in which the findings of the author’s 40 years of scientific research are presented in an accessible and attractively illustrated format for children. From its capacity to stiffen and soften, to its ability to split entirely in two, to its propensity for ejecting its guts, everything about these little-known, almost other-worldly creatures is expertly explained.
