mackerel. Included are twelve freshwater fish and thirteen saltwater fish...

As I mentioned in my review of Crinkleroot's 25 Birds Every Child Should Know, I prefer the books in this series that have more of Crinkleroot himself, as I find him a charming and informative guide. That said, it's only fair to note that the four "Crinkleroot's 25" titles - Crinkleroot's 25 Birds Every Child Should Know, Crinkleroot's 25 Fish Every Child Should Know, Crinkleroot's 25 Mammals Every Child Should Know and Crinkleroot's 25 More Animals Every Child Should Know - are intended for younger children, and were intentionally created as a set to introduce them to a specific set of wild creatures. They certainly succeed on that score, and feature Arnosky's lovely illustrations as well. Recommended to young animal lovers, and to fans of Arnosky's artwork.
