"Moss's words are sparse but sharp, reflecting the fragility of this unique marine wilderness; Kennaway's pictures fill each coral-scape with vibrant colour and accurate image. A splendid example of how well-composed text and well-realised artwork can knock the stuffing out of any 'amazing true-life real photo' production. Photographs satisfy curiosity - books like this nourish the imagination."
Books for Keeps

"This beautifully illustrated book is a celebration of The Great Barrier Reef and its creatures. Told in poetic language, employing alliteration, rhythm and repetition, the moods of the reef are evoked - in turn languorous, mysterious and threatening. This is a useful resource for primary libraries and classrooms for art and creative writing as well as topic related work."
