Illustrated by
Trina L. Hunner.
This story, accompanied by detailed illustrations, introduces numerous creatures that live near a coral reef. It follows Kiki the green sea turtle as she hatches, avoids predators, grows, and returns to her home beach to lay eggs. The informational text is paired on each spread with a superfluous two-line rhyming stanza. Useful additional facts, activities, and a map are appended.
