Corals

Children's Literature

The magical world of corals comes alive for very young children in this beautifully illustrated book, part of the "Under the Sea" series. The text uses a minimum word count to tell pre-readers and early readers about the world of corals, how they feed, how they protect themselves, how a coral reef is made and where coral reefs may be found. Photo illustrations are stunning. The book includes an index, glossary, age-appropriate bibliography and a safe internet site. This a perfect book for reading aloud, before or after a trip to the beach or aquarium, as well as a valuable addition to a preschool or kindergarten classroom. 2005, Pebble Plus/Capstone Press, Ages 3 to 6.
