Picture Book Review: Over and Under the Coral Reef

 

 A child and father take a swim in the ocean; the father points out all kinds of amazing things. 

They see so much under the water. There's so much to see; it seems like a magical day.  The illustrations here are beautiful; lovely to our over. There's an author note that talks about coral reefs and how to help protect them. There's a list in the back of the book about all the animals showcased in this book and tiny blurb of information on each one. There are also some suggestions for further reading. This is the 4th book in this Over and Under series and each of them is fantastic. Perfect for older readers.

A must have book for your school or public library collection.

Picture Book Wednesday: Hurry Up!

One boy is so busy that he forgets all the awesome things happening around him - until he takes a deep breath and slows down.

Great message about not hurrying through the day, to slow down, to notice the little things happening around us, and be mindful taking it all in. I loved the artwork in this book. 

Library Recommendation: Must have picture book for your library's collection!
