Coral Reef has so many detailed photographs. They are so clear and easy to see. All the pictures have such amazing sea creatures in them. I could not believe how strange and magnificent the sea creatures were. All of them from fish to crabs in disguise to animals not in disguise were so wonderfully strange in every way. Even though I have been diving before, the information in this book was new to me. Even though the text may be hard for younger children, you can still learn a lot by the easier text under the pictures.

I think Coral Reef: A City That Never Sleeps is an exciting book for excellent readers who may or may not be interested in coral reefs. I really loved reading this book, so I hope you will read this book too.
