A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hawaiian Reefs: A Natural History Guide (Paperback)

This book is very informative on general species a snorkeler or diver might encounter. The book gives pictures, names, and general information about the animals. This book covers coral, invertebrates, and fish. It also shows some rare species that are rarely encountered. This book is a definite buy if you're looking for good knowledge. ENJOY!
