"Innovative Kids Readers: The Great Barrier Reef — An Under the Sea Adventure"

Susan Ring

Did you know that the Barrier Reef is about 1,200 miles long? Did you know that leather-back turtles live there? Giant leather-back turtles are endangered because people hunt for the leather on their shells! Another type of animal in the Barrier Reef is a humpback whale that eats up to 5,000 pounds of food in a single day! I liked this book because it's an interesting book and has a lot of facts about the Coral Reef.
