Wordful Wednesday
I love the sea. So many beautiful fish can be found in the oceans of the world. There are great picture books for children as well as young adult books focusing on education of coral reefs with beautiful illustrations.
My father visited the Belize Coral Reef and witnessed a cloud of plants and animals. I have watched many special programs where your eyes feast on coral reef fish pictures and a lot has been said on Coral Reef protection. Of course, our own San Diego Reuben H. Fleet Science Center shows Coral Reef Adventure. Are you familiar? Watch the trailer:
Here is a list of popular books regarding the coral reef.
A photographic essay for children, this book provides simple text and wonderful photos of life in a coral reef.
Adolescent/Young Adult Books
