A vibrant guide to the Great Barrier Reef full of surprising factoids and retro illustrations, perfect for children curious about life under the sea. Now in paperback!

"A very good book for beefing up the coral reef section, or for niche projects on climate change."
―School Library Journal

Did you know that giant clams can weigh as much as two baby elephants? Or that the shockwave of a pistol shrimp can heat up the surrounding waters to a temperature nearly as hot as the surface of the sun? With nearly 400,000 square kilometers of dazzling color, intricate ecosystems and unique creatures large and small, The Great Barrier Reef is one of the great natural wonders of our world.

Vibrant, dynamic illustrations illuminate this enchanting place, its animal inhabitants, and the peoples who have embraced it as a centerpiece of their cultures. Learn all about how the reef came to be, its place in the world, and perhaps most importantly, what we can all do to help ensure that The Great Barrier Reef will be around for countless future generations to discover!

So so...
Size: Medium, Unit Count: 2
They do what they advertised. You can NOT walk in them you will stretch them and pop a hole in them. You cannot sleep in them unless your going to wear larger cotton socks with them to keep them in place. They are easy to wash and dry which is nice. I will need to buy another pair. Great if your gonna watch a movie or binge TV in.

Great for dry feet or to help lock in moisturizer or medication

They’re stretchy and don’t feel goopy, I use them daily and they’re working great they keep my feet nice and hydrated and soft. I’ve been using them along with lotion to help hydrate my skin so they aren’t rough during the winter. They are comfy and if you must get up they’re grippy and don’t slip or slide they stay put. They’re super easy to put on and take off.

Do not buy this
Size: Medium, Unit Count: 2
This is not a good product ! Whenever I put products on my feet and put them on the socks they were on for about 2 to 3 minutes I had to keep adjusting them on my feet then they started ripping
