Children's Literature -
This beautifully illustrated book is an excellent way to introduce young children to the important subject of environmental protection. Twelve types of fish are swimming in Australia's Great Barrier Reef. They disappear one by one, due to different environmental hazards such as oil drilling, trash dumping, unauthorized feeding, and pesticides. The clever book layout has a simple poem tracking the disappearing fish and a brief explanation of the hazard on opposite pages. This makes it easier for children to understand why a particular activity is harmful to the fish and provides a springboard for further discussion about environmental protection. The silk painted illustrations are exquisite.Book Details
