ILA 2021 Children's and Young Adults Book Award - Primary Nonfiction A disgruntled seahorse fact-checks a school report about him. When a child writes a report about a seahorse, the creature himself has a few things to say about the animals he's compared to. First of all, he is nothing like a land horse. His tail is much more useful than an opossum's tail. And his snout fits his face perfectly—unlike an anteater's snout. Delivering fascinating facts along the way, the seahorse sets the record straight about what makes his species so special.

Steller's classic work, published in Latin in 1751 and in German in 1753, contains the only scientific description from life of the Steller's sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas), as well as the first scientific descriptions of the fur seal or "sea bear" (Callorhinus ursinus), Steller's sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus), and the sea otter (Enhydra lutris). Steller's sea cow was a sirenian, or manatee, inhabiting the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. It was first discovered by Europeans in 1741 and rendered extinct by 1768. It was a 30-foot long, plant-eating aquatic mammal, weighing up to 12 tons, that lived in large herds on the coasts of Alaska and Kamchatka. Steller made his observations as part of Vitus Bering's second voyage, during which the crew was shipwrecked for 9 months on Bering Island, from November 1741 to August 1742.
