Coral Reefs: Cities of the Ocean by Maris Wicks

April 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I will start off with, this is a book about coral reefs, so how did they manage to add at least two fart jokes and a belch? Very ingeniously! Coral Reefs: Cities of the Ocean is the basics of coral reefs. We see how they have inspired human inventions and architecture by the size, shapes, forms, and even the creatures that live among them. While the images are almost basic, there is a lot of goodness packed in. However, most pages are not too crowded. […]
