Great Barrier Reef is part of Jump!’s Natural Wonders series.
'This non-fiction series is one that will expose readers to a variety of natural wonders of the world. While some like the Grand Canyon and the Great Barrier Reef are more familiar, others are not. This series has many benefits. There are suggestions for parents/teachers on how one can read or support reading at the beginning of the book. They explain the science behind the creation of these wonders and also include any legends that local cultures may have about them. Where they are in the world is shown on clear maps that are understandable. There are questions throughout the books as well, encouraging more thought and curiosity to look further into the subjects. At the end of each book there is a glossary and index as well as quick facts and tools. There is also a “To Learn More” area giving online resources at an appropriate reading level to look into these unique areas of our world. I would recommend these books for elementary library. They have stunning images, interesting maps and charts and encourage interest and further learning.', Midge Livingtson, South Sound Book Review Council, Washington
