Jules, Do All Fish Look Like You?

About the Book

Jules, Do All Fish Look Like You? will transport children and adults alike into an underwater world! Follow Jules, the minnow, as he shares his adventures of his fish friends found in the rivers and streams of the southeast. In these pages are descriptions of rare fishes, all of which are listed as either threatened or endangered. You will be educated and amused at the same time, learning about the physical characteristics, habitat, and personality of each of these fish species. At the end of the book is an index that has actual pictures of the fishes that brought this story to life! All proceeds go to Conservation Fisheries, a nonprofit organization in Knoxville, Tennessee, that restores these fishes to America’s streams and rivers.
