Coral Reef Animals (Animals in Their Habitats)

Rating:
Summary: Learn about coral reef animals
Review: Starts with an explanation of the formation and composition of coral reefs. Covers a variety of animals that live on and around coral reefs. Includes about two dozen species, such as: squids, spotted scorpion fish, queen conchs, donkey dung sea cucumber, and elkhorn coral sea polyps. Contains information about habitat and how the animals have learned to survive. A nice feature is small insets on many pages that show the animal's size compared to everyday items such as a soccer ball and a paper clip. The photos are good and the book design is clean. Words in the glossary are in bold font. There is also an index and a three item bibliography. Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review
