A vibrant guide to the Great Barrier Reef full of surprising
factoids and retro illustrations, perfect for children curious
about life under the sea. Now in paperback! "A very good book for
beefing up the coral reef section, or for niche projects on climate
change." —School Library Journal Did you know that giant clams
can weigh as much as two baby elephants? Or that the shockwave of a
pistol shrimp can heat up the surrounding waters to a temperature
nearly as hot as the surface of the sun? With nearly 400,000 square
kilometers of dazzling color, intricate ecosystems and unique
creatures large and small, The Great Barrier Reef is one of the
great natural wonders of our world. Vibrant, dynamic illustrations
illuminate this enchanting place, its animal inhabitants, and the
peoples who have embraced it as a centerpiece of their cultures.
Learn all about how the reef came to be, its place in the world,
and perhaps most importantly, what we can all do to help ensure
that The Great Barrier Reef will be around for countless future
generations to discover!
