Coral Reef

We got this book for our 5 year old son as we were heading on a trip to Costa Rica. He loved learning all about life on a coral reef. The format allows for either reading straight through and getting a sense of what a full day & night is like on a coral reef or targeting favorite two-page spreads. We did lots of each and the book was pretty beat up by the end of the trip. The photography is great and just the right amount of information to keep a child engaged.

Whether you are four years old or eighty years old, if you like coral reefs the dazzling photographs in this book make it well worth the purchase price. Coral reefs are presented in a simple understandable way accompanied by breathtaking photographs. The story follows a coral reef from dawn (6am) until night (10pm). They cover less than one percent of the Earth's surface and are home to over fifteen percent of all fish species!
