Jellyfish Books for Kids {Ocean Animals Unit Study}
From stories to facts to coloring – these books will help you teach your kids everything there is to know about the beautiful Jellyfish!
A Day in the Life of a Jellyfish
The lives of fascinating sea animals will engage young readers. In this series of sturdy, colorful, paperback, “”read-and-learn”” books, students explore facts about dolphins, sharks, seals, sea turtles, octopi, and jellies. How the animals behave, move.
These nautical profiles pair well-chosen color photos, such as a view of a Pacific giant octopus, with a diver next to it. This really helps children to understand the scale!
I love the unusual close-up of the inside of a leather-back turtle’s mouth showing the spines that prevent jellyfish from escaping.
This series on sea animals will appeal to emerging readers in early elementary grades. Each book profiles one species.
Engaging features include attractive covers, straightforward sentences in large font, and brief chapters that align with national science.
Peanut Butter and Jellyfish
Peanut Butter and Jellyfish are the best of friends.
They swim up. They swim down.
They swim all around.
Except near Crabby, who never has anything nice to say to them.
“You two swim like humans” is the least of his insults.
Then one day Crabby is caught in a lobster trap and needs their help! Should they help him?
It’s Peanut Butter and Jellyfish to the rescue! Crabby might be afraid of heights . . . but will he be brave enough to apologize?

Interesting Facts & Pictures about Jellyfish
Children’s author Julie Pearson highlights the strange world of jellyfish in the latest of her books on marine life entitled “Jellyfish and Jellies Under The Sea (Sea Animals Life)”
This book is jammed full of interesting information about jellyfish for children interested in ocean life.
It uses 30 beautiful color pictures to show, in amazing detail, the intricate features of these stunning yet often dangerous creatures.
The text is educational and written for children aged 8 and up. Younger children though would also love the pictures and would benefit from sharing the book with a parent reading to them.
Designed to bring the world of jellyfish to life for children of all ages,this jellyfish book has been carefully formatted to present beautifully on Kindle,iPad, PC’s and many tablet devices.
Floating Jellyfish
This is a nice little book for young learners interested in marine life. The language is very simple, yet several science concepts (feeding, reproduction and diversity) are addressed.
Have you ever avoided stepping on a jellyfish so that it wouldn’t sting you? Uncover why jellyfish sting, how they clone themselves and glow in the dark, and how they hide from predators. Float along with this appealing creature through its entire life cycle.
Jeremiah Jellyfish Flies High
Join Jeremiah Jellyfish as he swims away from his shoal and finds himself taking charge of the World’s Biggest Rocket Plane Factory! Small children—and their parents—will relish the delicious comedy served up by the unusual role swap in this exquisite, wonderfully imaginative picture book.
JELLYFISH: Amazing Facts & Awesome Trivia for Kids
This edition includes a selection of those “WoW” facts combined with some pretty awesome pictures, if I say so myself! At the end there is a short “True or False” quiz to check memory recall and to help cement some of the information included in the book. Don’t worry though, it’s a bit of fun but at the same time, it helps to check understanding.
If you’re an expert on this subject, then it’s unlikely you will find anything new here. However, if you, like me, enjoy learning unusual facts with interesting pictures, then I think you’ll love it.
