Coral Reef Paperback - 1997 - 1st Edition
by Silver, Donald; Wynne, Patricia
- New
- Paperback
The coral reef is an eat-or-be-eaten world, where animals can look like delicate plants or colorful rocks. It's also a place where a fish can light up like a flashlight--where jaws snap, tentacles sting, and a squirt of ink can save a life. A fascinating habitat lies between the covers of this never-before-published look at an endangered undersea ecosystem. Full color.

From the rear cover
``These beautiful and scientifically accurate books capture your imagination with the excitement of observing nature and learning to interpret what you see.''--Dr. Nancy. B. Simmons, Assistant Curator, American Museum of Natural History. Dive into a clear, quiet, watery world where tiny coral animals build one of the wonders of the world--a rock-hard coral reef. A flashlightfish (no batteries included) glows and countless tentacles sway back and forth in search of food. This colorful, action-packed undersea circus will thrill you with snapping jaws, squirting ink, shooting darts, and hungry sharks devouring their prey. But you're safe--and magically dry, too--when you explore the greatest reef of them all--one small square at a time. Coral Reef is just one of the exciting, vibrantly illustrated volumes in the critically acclaimed One Small Square series of science and nature books for children ages 6-9. Each book includes: stunning full-color illustrations of each habitat and its creatures; motivating experiments and activities, along with clear, diagrammed instructions and safety tips; a picture field guide to the habitat; a glossary-index and resource list. One Small Square--an eye-opening series--puts the whole world in perspective for children, one small square at a time. Each book is a thrilling, up-close encounter with mammals, insects, plants, birds, fish, amphibians, bacteria, and the ecosystems in which they live. ``Science education at its best.''--Science Books and Films.
