ReviewsReviews: Coral Reefs & I Am a Sea Horse As you're heading to the beach this spring break, maybe you want to learn a little about sea life. Why not introduce your kids to some interesting creatures in the ocean with these two picks? Coral Reefs by Laura Purdie Salas Illustrated by Jeff Yesh What exactly is a coral reef? Is it a plant? Is it a living organism? And how does it affect our lives? These questions and more answered in this colorful book from Picture Window books. Coral Reefs takes young readers (K-3) through this amazing ecosystem. Maybe your kids are familiar with a certain clown fish named Nemo. Why not show them Nemo's real life habitat? Readers learn what a coral reef is, how it's formed, what animals make reefs their home, where they're found and other facts. The bright and colorful illustrations will catch a child's eye with sea turtles, fish, and anemones under the sea. In the back pages, you'll find a craft project to make your own coral reef diorama. Also included are a glossary and Capstone's FactHound educational research service. Coral Reefs is part of the Amazing Science: Ecosystem series. I Am a Sea Horse by Trisha Speed Shaskan Illustrated by Todd Ouren Did you know a sea horse doesn't have scales, but skin? Or that sea horses don't have teeth or a stomach, but suck food in through a snout? Take a trip under the sea with a dwarf sea horse! I Am a Sea Horse takes readers through the life cycle of a sea horse, and along the way, readers learn facts about these remarkable little creatures. See what they eat and how they escape their enemies. The sea comes alive as the digital illustrations of the sea horses seem almost photograph-like. Educational material includes diagrams of the sea horse anatomy, a glossary, fun facts, and a link to the FactHound educational service. I Am a Seahorse is part of the I Live in the Ocean series. http://brimeetsbooks.com/?p=1361
