Klappentext

This is a coral reef. A living, limestone necklace beneath the sea-multi-colored, ever-changing, and full of animals.

A Coral Reef Story brings together a spellbinding narrative, breathtaking illustrations, and fascinating facts about the astonishing creatures that live in one of our planet's most precious environments. Traveling through the seasons over the course of one year, we meet great white sharks, bright parrotfish, graceful green turtles, and many more amazing animals as they hunt for food and play. See the stripy clown fish fiercely guarding his babies, the eel spitting out a spiky porcupinefish, and a queue of hermit crabs jostling to jump into their new shells.

Lyrical text by Jane Burnard combines with Kendra Binney's evocative illustrations to show readers the magical beauty of the coral reef. A Coral Reef Story is an essential purchase for both school libraries and the home, sure to inspire wonder in the natural world and to stimulate discussion between parent and child about the importance of protecting our planet's ecosystems and habitats.
