I checked this out of the school library and read it to my mom.

[Jeani]

It was neat to learn about ocean creatures that aren't typically covered in a children's book.

[Shelli]

Beautiful photographs perfectly complement the interesting facts about the ocean and several of its residents; some well-known and others you may have never seen before. Gobies were my favorite, so adorable and little.

[Katie]

Fantastic photos of creatures I had never seen before.

[Jessica]

Description of different types of fish found in Coral Reef. Very simple but would be great to use if you are studying Australia.

[Amy]

This book is colorful and will capture the attention of elementary aged students. Will be great to use when teaching about habitats, animal life, and adaptations.

it is good book talking about ocean life

[Sara Carmona]

(Informational) I guess if I was interested in all the different kinds of fish in the ocean, this would be a good book. The pictures are real-life photographs of fish taken in a coral reef. There are about a dozen fish that the authors describe for young readers.

This is an informational book about the different fish in a corral reef. Some of these fish are the spotted moray, striped catfish, and the frog fish. This is a book that can be used in the classroom when talking about the ocean or as a free read.
