What is life like in a coral reef? What do corals eat? Why are corals more colorful at nighttime? Learn about some of the most beautiful locations in the natural world in this new Spanish edition of a Gail Gibbons classic!

Marine biologists believe coral reefs existed 400 million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Today this active environment is home to about 20,000 kinds of brilliantly colored corals, plants, and animals--more sea creatures than are found anywhere else in the world. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is so large that astronauts can see it from outer space! 

Young Spanish speakers and Spanish language learners will enjoy this new translation of Gibbon's informative text, derived from the newly updated English edition, which was vetted by a scientist working at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The simple Spanish vocabulary is reinforced by clear and detailed illustrations that guide readers on their journey into the unique lives of coral reefs.
According to the Washington Post, Gail Gibbons "has taught more preschoolers and early readers about the world than any other children's writer-illustrator." The multi award-winning Gail Gibbons is the author of more than 100 books for young readers, including the best-selling titles From Seed to Plant and Monarch Butterfly. Her many honors include the Regina Medal, the Washington Post/Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award, and the NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Book Award
