PreS-Gr 2—As a young girl is visiting the library and beginning to learn about corals and their properties, water begins to seep into the library around her, until she soon finds herself being swept away by the sea and learning more about coral reefs and the animals that are part of the coral's environment. Exciting narration, along with a suspenseful score and background sounds such as bubbles and waves, bring this adaptation of Jason Chin's nonfiction picture book to life. Together, the strong instrumental music and illustrations that sway to and fro will make it seem as if viewers are watching a full-length documentary. Threats to coral reefs and ways to help are followed by information about corals and algae. A gorgeous adaptation highlighting an important ecosystem.
