This is a small - and relatively new - neighborhood. Originally, I had a section in the animal neighborhoods called "Oceans" but I also had some ocean books in Nature. It was getting confused between the two, so I reworked the sections so the one in the Animals was labeled "Fish" and included all non-mammal underwater creatures while more general ocean habitats were included in the habitats (577) section in Nature/Earth. Most of these are shark books, of course, including several series nonfiction sets of different sharks. There's a definite shortage of freshwater fish books, something I get requests for on and off, but for now the kids will have to be satisfied with fishing books (Nature/Fun or juvenile nonfiction). Other than the shark books, I try to keep the fiction realistic, more or less.
