Extreme Coral Reef!

“While I was research­ing this book, my fam­i­ly vis­it­ed the Mex­i­can Riv­iera, and we could go snor­kel­ing along the coral reefs right off the beach of our resort. How cool is that! My hus­band and I saw many dif­fer­ent kinds of corals, includ­ing wrinkly brain coral and sea fans in every col­or of the rain­bow. We also saw sponges, sea stars, and an amaz­ing array of fish, such as box fish, par­rot­fish, groupers, but­ter­fly­fish, and even a man­ta ray. My broth­er-in-law won the prize for the best sight­ing, though — a moray eel. My under­sea explo­rations helped me bring the coral reef habi­tat to life for all my readers.”
