Coral reefs are among the most dazzling sights in nature. The colorful corals that compose them are breathtaking— but these habitats are more than just beautiful. They are teeming with wildlife. Brilliantly colored fish with wild shapes and patterns swim in and out of every cranny. Algae help reefs stay alive, and other creatures, such as eels and octopuses, lurk among the corals waiting for prey.
In their fifth collaboration, Dorothy Hinshaw Patent and Kendahl Jan Jubb use clear prose and vivid watercolors to reveal the workings of these dynamic and beautiful ecosystems— from how reefs develop to the wide variety of creatures that inhabit them.
Provides an overview of coral reefs as ecosystems, describing different types of corals and how they reproduce and discussing the variety of fishes and other animals that depend on coral reefs to sustain them.

Colorful captivating coral reefs
Personal Response- I chose this book because I love the ocean and animals. The paintings are captivating with their bright colors all over the pages. The book provides a lot of detailed information in an interesting way that students would enjoy.
Purpose in the Classroom- Third graders would enjoy this book because it explains challenging words in the text and the illustrations are interesting to look at. I would not give this book to younger grades unless they were at a higher reading level because of the amount of scientific vocabulary that could be confusing. This book would be a good independent read during an ocean unit, as for projects on animals in the ocean (coral reefs are living animals). The book could also be used during a discussion on Earth Day because it provides information on protecting coral reefs and global warming. Nonfiction conventions used are an index with scientific names and page numbers, bold faced type, labels of the species next to the coral and fish, and a diagram of how coral cells divide.
