Who Needs a Reef? A Coral Ecosystem

by Karen Patkau

Patkau's digitally rendered artwork hides the residents of a coral reef, which kids will diligently seek out while learning about the reef's ecosystem. The reef is shown both by day and by night, while clear prose describes how it contributes to a healthy planet. 

End pages contain brief information about the reef inhabitants. Glossary included.

Ages 8 and up.

Part of a series produced by Tundra Books, other titles depict the ecosystems of the Arctic, a wetland, a jungle, a desert, and a prairie.
