This is the fourth book in Patricia Gleichauf's award-winning Under the Sea series. She wrote this book to give a voice to coral, the tiny saltwater animal that plays an essential part in maintaining the health of our world's oceans. Coral Gardens will take its readers on an amazing and brilliantly colorful journey under the sea. Coral is a threatened and endangered species that are disappearing at an alarming rate. We can all do our part to help save them by using energy efficient light bulbs, choosing sunscreen that does not harm marine life, and keeping our beaches clean.
