Sammy & Scarlett's Coral Reef Adventure is a fun book for younger readers by Robert Andrew Provan. I thought it was a wonderful learning tool. I liked seeing the ocean through the eyes of the main characters, Sammy and Scarlett. On their journey, they quickly become friends with others. They learn the dangers of predators and what harm humans create when littering the beautiful habitat. The friends have to find a way to trust and protect one another to survive. Overall, I thought this was a fabulous book to read and one that I believe the smallest of readers will want to read it over and over.

Sammy & Scarlett's Coral Reef Adventure is beautifully illustrated by the talented artist, Mary Wentzel. The vivid and colorful pictures were a wonderful addition to the book and helped contribute to the story. Such a perfect way for the youngest of readers to stay focused as to what is going on each page.

Sammy & Scarlett's Coral Reef Adventure will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of three and eight. I would love to see it on public children’s library shelves and / or in elementary classrooms. I would love to see more Sammy and Scarlett adventures to come.

I received a soft cover copy of Robert Andrew Provan’s Sammy & Scarlett's Coral Reef Adventure from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion. ( )

I love the magnificent illustrations created by Mary Wentael in Sammy & Scarlett’s Coral Reef Adventure by Robert Andrew Provan. Detailed and colorful that lead us, step by step, through the story. I was eager to get my hands on it, and wasted no time diving in. I love anything to do with oceans, seas, lakes, ponds…and all of their inhabitants. I am fascinated with water and find it soothing, hypnotizing.

We are introduced to Sammy, a sergeant major fish, and Scarlett, a yellowtail snapper who are washed out of their tidal pool, fiding safety in the mangroves. They decide it”s time to head to the Florida Keys, where they will spend their adult life.

They meet Howie, a Hawksbill Sea Turtle, and become fast friends. They learn a lot from him, as did we. Didn’t we, little ones?

I can imagine the delight a young child can gain from the wonderful illustrations as they learn about the symbiotic relationship of the Florida sea creatures. As Sammy and Scarlett learn from Howie, so do we. We learn of corals, reefs, solitary fish, schools of fish, who could be a friend, who could be your enemy and who could eat you. We, also get a glimpse of ourselves and our contributions, good and bad.

I loved it. I loved it. I loved it.
