On Kiki’s Reef by Carol L. Malnor ($16.95)
Learning becomes fun with this book about the life cycle of a green sea turtle and its coral reef habitat. Amazing artwork will inspire children in classrooms and at home to appreciate the world around us!
A tiny baby sea turtle scrambles across the sandy beach and into the sea. Floating far out in the ocean, Kiki is becoming a gentle giant. She swims to shallower water where a rainbow of corals puts on a show. Kiki adopts the busy coral reef as her new home and discovers fish of all sizes and lots of surprises! There’s lots of teamwork going on too, including a gang of tangs that clean up the algae growing on her shell. But something calls her back to the beach . . . and the cycle of life continues. In the back matter Malnor offers a concise beginner’s guide to sea turtles and coral reefs, plus a variety of “teaching treasures” for further learning.
There are beautiful fish illustrations on the front and back cover!
The inside flap of the book’s dust jacket has the story synopsis!
The story started with Kiki as a small sea turtle, and as she drifted far away from the shore, she turned into a gentle giant.
Kiki adopted the busy coral reef and learned to live with the other sea creatures, but something is calling her back to the shore, which will start a new cycle of life. This is a nice story that will help kids learn about the circle of life. The illustrations are fantastic as well!
