Popping with colour and fizzing with life, coral reefs bloom like beautiful gardens under the sea. They're among the most spectacular places on our planet. Follow a day and night on a coral reef and see how coral and the amazing creatures that live on a reef change their behaviour depending on the time of day.

Thousands of fabulous creatures live around coral reefs. Get ready to meet...

... fish that like to snooze in sleeping bags

... shells big enough to have a bath in

... fish that start to smell like the coral they eat

... and many, many more.

Then find out why coral reefs are in danger and what is being done to help them.

A Day and Night: On a Coral Reef is perfect for children aged 7+ to help them learn about this beautiful and amazing habitat.

Full of intricate illustrations by award-winning artist, Khoa Le, who is a dedicated and passionate diver. She frequently engages in activities organised by her hometown divers' community, helping with beach cleanups and protecting coral reefs by removing crown-of-thorns starfish.
