Rocky Shore Who Eats Who Educational Colouring Book
An educational colouring book that features the animals and plants found between the tides on New Zealand's rocky shores and in shallow coastal waters. The illustrations show diet, feeding strategies and adaptations to find and capture food and avoid predators. Children should be encouraged to interpret what is happening in the scenes and predict what might hapen next. Creating a food web will highlight the role of these creatures in the ocean environment.
