A smiling mermaid swims beside a branching coral reef while a sea turtle, a striped fish and a seahorse gather around her. There is plenty to name and count. Encourage kids to make the coral bright and varied, since real reefs come in many colors.
The Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Australia, is the largest coral reef system in the world and is home to thousands of kinds of sea life.
Name each sea creature on the page and act out how it moves: turtles paddle slowly, fish dart and seahorses bob upright.
