About the Book
Discover animals living in a coral reef with this fact-filled, illustrated non-fiction picture book - the second title in a timely series about the world's most precious habitats.Book Synopsis
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. Travelling through the seasons over the course of one year, we meet great white sharks, bright parrotfish, graceful green turtles and 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 move into their new shells.
