Coral Reefs is a picture book reference guide about coral reefs. It discusses where coral reefs are found, the three kinds, how they grow, the colonies, daytime and nighttime coral reefs, and the Great Barrier Reef. It also goes on to talk about scuba diving and museums in relation to coral reefs. It has maps, watercolor drawings with labels of fish and plants, definitions, and short paragraphs on each page.
This is a really well done informational book. It is bright and colorful and really attracts your attention. The watercolor drawings are beautiful and each page could individually be hung as art. Each page is also loaded with information. This book could be referenced by children and adults. It is told simply, but also has a lot of information.
