Such an informative book. I love the illustrations and colors used. I love that a little fish is the narrator and takes you on an awesome journey through coral reefs and some of its inhabitants. Probably my favorite Science Comic I have read so far. ( )

Seems to be aimed at a slightly younger crowd than other Science Comics...or maybe it just actually has concepts broken down for the right age group. Our little gobi fish guide breaks things down clearly without leaving gigantic words undefined (Plagues) or getting into tough concepts in the first 20 pages (Dogs). We go only as deep as we need and we cover a lot of information both directly related to reefs and related to science: classification, the water cycle, climate change. Probably the most difficult subject tackled (toward the end, thank goodness!) is the acidification of the ocean, but it's a lot easier to grasp with Wicks' simply-colored molecules than some of the immune system components were in Plagues. Kudos also to Wicks for funny 4th-wall-breaking comments at the bottom of some pages and for talking about climate change without getting too depressing.

I get why this was one of the first Science Comics published! It would be a great first entry for kids starting the series. ( )

This informational book about coral reefs is perfect for students that love graphic novels. A fish is the guide that takes readers through the details of life in a coral reef. The book reads like a graphic novel, but has the information of a nonfiction science book. Readers can gain great information while being entertained by the cartoons characters.

Fabulous! I enjoyed this even better than Human Body Theater most likely because, while it was chock-full of facts, it didn't feel like quite the information overload. And the puns! O the puns! I can't wait for her next endeavor. ( )

I enjoy this book because like "El Deafo," it is an easy read and presents science information accurately and in a fun way. I would use this to support certain topics we might be talking about in class to help students understand coral reefs. Graphic novels and comics get students to engage in learning and reading. Putting a science text in this format makes the information easy to read and grasp.
