Coral Reefs
(New & Updated Edition)
by Gail Gibbons
This beautiful book presents a comprehensive look at life in a coral reef.
Marine biologists believe coral reefs existed 400 million years ago, well before the age of dinosaurs. Today, this active environment is home to about 200,000 kinds of brilliantly colored coral, plants, and animals.
