One day a storm swirled in. The ship was swished, and swayed, and swamped! Then it sank down to the seafloor, where it would become a treasure ship of a different kind… When ships sink to the bottom of the sea, time can change them into rich reef ecosystems, home to a wealth of sea life big and small. Sunken ships and other human-made underwater objects are called artificial reefs. These ocean oases provide food and shelter for a vast array of plants and animals, from little sea lettuces to big bottlenose dolphins and many more sea species in between. With snappy, funny text and lush illustrations, this book invites curious readers to step into a tiny ecosystem thats truly full of treasures.

Review Colorful animals that compose the "rainbow of reef life" take on human expressions with their cartoonlike eyes and add humor with jokes in speech bubbles. -- Horn Book * September/October 2024 Issue *A Spanish galleon is "swished . . . and swayed . . . and SWAMPED!" by a storm—but thats just the beginning! This cheerful tale describes how the sunken hull supports the growth of a new reef over the next century and beyond. Simple, charming illustrations show sea life moving in as the ship settles and decomposes. Readers will enjoy the silly puns and speech-bubble asides offered by the new reef dwellers.
