This is not your preschooler's pretty pony crayon scribbler. In fact, The Complete Hawaiian Reef Fish Coloring Book is an award winning coloring TEXTBOOK that is packed with detailed information about Hawaii's reef fish. Over 200 colorable illustrations help both children and adults learn to identify some 80 species of fish. Each illustration is accompanied by a complete description of the fish, including the scientific, common and Hawaiian names. Their anatomical features, coloration, body designs, feeding habits and reproductive strategies are also explained in a fully illustrated section devoted to these topics. In addition, an overview of coral reef ecology is provided to help children understand the relationship between the fishes and the coral reef and the importance of conservation. The Earth Friendly Edition is now printed on 80 pound recycled paper to better reflect the author and publisher's environmental philosophy and of course, stand up to a marker. This title is the recipient of the Dr. Toy Best Children's Vaction Products Award, Creative Child Magazine Book of the Year Award and the Ziggits Gold Star Award.
