<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A coloring encyclopedia of Hawaiian Reef Fish<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Complete Hawaiian Reef Fish Coloring Book includes over 200 colorable illustrations to help the reader learn to identify over 80 species of fish. Think Adult Coloring Book on Steroids! Yet perfect for classroom work. This book is more like a coloring encyclopedia where each illustration is accompanied by a complete description of the fish, including the scientific, common, and Hawaiian names. Their anatomical features, coloration, body designs, feeding habits and reproductive strategies are also explained in a fully illustrated section devoted to these topics. In addition, an overview of coral reef ecology is provided to help the reader understand the relationship between the fishes and the coral reef and the importance of conservation. </p><p>Winner of the Dr. Toy Best Children's Vacation Products Award for summer 2010 and the Creative Child Magazine 2010 Book of the Year Award for its category.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Please note this is designated a coloring book by the author; however, content and presentation are everything and according to Mira's stated purpose, this is an educational tool. In its 112 pages there is a table of contents, a glossary, a bibliography and an index making up 28 of the pages. The information is orderly and, up to the description of the fish, logical. The illustrations are superb. In fact the illustrations are worthy of much more praise then can be given here. The Complete Hawaiian Reef Fish Coloring Book is a massive endeavor. Mira spent countless hours diving in and around the islands to get the information in this book. She is also a great illustrator. Reading the book and following the illustrations I can see distinctions between each fish shown. The extra illustrations of small sea life, shells and environments scattered throughout the book make it enjoyable. It is easy to color each of them and very rewarding for an adult who doesn't have to stay in the lines but does because it looks better. This could be an effective aid in teaching upper elementary school children about Hawaii. (NOTE: it is classroom tested K-12 according to the back cover). --Chris Phillips-bookpleasures.com --Chris Phillips-bookpleasures.com</p><br>
