Book Review: Hawksbill Hero and the Parrotfish Reef (OT) (turtle, ocean, saving the reef)

Hawksbill Hero and the Parrotfish Reef, by Louisa Sax (Independently Published, 2020, 37 pages, $11.99)

Who?

Strangely named creatures of the sea: hawksbills and parrotfish and snappers, groupers, sea stars, pufferfish, angelfish, triggerfish! Beautiful depictions of the plants and animals that live and lurk under the sea and on the ocean floor. And animals with true-to-life expressions on their face. Plus a mysterious plot!

What Happened?

Hero is a hawksbill turtle whose diet consists of sea sponges and angelfish but whose best friends are also angelfish. She travels the ocean and then returns home to find - not much! Not much in the way of colorful fish or corals. She asks the few remaining fish what happened and decides to go on a quest to save her home.

Author Louisa Sax weaves an exciting story into seamless education with fun colorful illustrations and many many undersea objects to name and learn. Your child will be a brilliant star with this knowledge and will want lobster stuffed animals and sharks and sting rays and . . . !


There is even an accompanying coloring book with activities to do!
