Book Description:
Sammy, a sergeant major fish, and Scarlett, a yellowtail snapper, are best friends who have found safety in a mangrove forest after being washed out of a tidal pool in a large wave. But they’ve decided to leave the mangroves and their friend Manny and journey across the sea-grass meadows to the barrier reef of the Florida Keys, the place that will be their home in adulthood.
Along the way, they make a new friend, a hawksbill sea turtle named Howie. Howie is a kind sea turtle who gives the young fish the guidance they need to get where they’re going and stay safe. The three quickly become fast friends and learn that they can trust one another through thick and thin. Howie protects the little fish from predators, and in return they help keep the turtle safe from the dangers of human litter such as plastic bags. Join Sammy, Scarlett, and new friend Howie as their epic journey continues through the magnificent Florida Keys.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
This story is about Sammy, a sergeant major fish, and Scarlett, after they are washed out of their tidal pool by a turbulent wave. The two have become friends and have found safety in a mangrove forest, but they decide to travel to the reef of the Florida Keys. This will be their new home. On the way they meet a hawksbill sea turtle named Howie, who guides them to where they are headed.
I love love this story. For years, I have enjoyed following videos of whale watching and life that lives on the bottom of the sea. It is such an adventure. Just like this book is a real adventure to read to your little ones, and older children will enjoy reading this book. I love all of the beautiful pictures that brings this story to life before your eyes. Mary Wentzel does a fantastic job with the vibrant and colorful illustrations and the front and back cover of this book as well as throughout the entire book. I love that a child can look at the pictures and make up their own stories. I really love everything about this book. It is so educational so teachers can use this to teach children so much about the ocean and all of the different and beautiful sea creatures, and life that goes on in a place we sometimes forget. I highly recommend this beautiful book for any library whether it be elementary school, any daycare, or anywhere else that might have children passing through. I’m giving Sammy & Scarlett’s Coral Reef Adventure Five Stars.
