About the Author:
Dr. SYLVIA EARLE is a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, a marine biologist, and an oceans ambassador. She has been named Hero for the Planet by Time magazine. She's the author of three previous books for children, Dive!, Hello Fish!, and Sea Critters. School Library Journal described the spirit of Dr. Earle's books when reviewing Dive!: "Earle uses a winning combination of factual information and genuine enthusiasm to encourage a new generation of aquanauts." Earle is also the author of numerous books for adults including: Sea Change: A Message of the Oceans, and National Geographic's Wild Ocean and Atlas of the Oceans. When not underwater, Sylvia lives in Oakland, California.
From Booklist:
K-Gr. 2. "In warm, clear oceans around the world, coral reefs circle our Earth like a belt of beautiful jewels." Descriptive, inviting language and brilliantly colored watercolor artwork introduce the reef's complex world in this picture-book entry in the Jump into Science series. The pages follow a young snorkeler, clad in a pink polka-dot swimsuit, as she swims through coral reefs and observes underwater plants and animals, which are described in the brief, informative paragraphs and visualized in detailed illustrations in tropical colors. There's also a bit of information on the reef world after dark and on the delicate balance required to maintain the health of the underwater reef community. A closing activity demonstrates the concept of filter feeding, and an opening map depicts general locations of reefs around the globe. A cheerful, informative introduction to an exciting ecosystem, with lush visuals for children to enjoy in story hours or on their own. Gillian Engberg
