"How Sammy Went to Coral-Land" by Emily Paret Atwater is a children's adventure tale woven with elements of natural history, likely written in the early 20th century. This book follows the journey of a young salmon named Sammy as he ventures from his tranquil freshwater home in search of adventure in the ocean. While it combines fictional elements with factual descriptions of marine life, the story primarily aims to introduce young readers to the wonders of the underwater world and its inhabitants. The narrative begins with Sammy's life in a peaceful stream, where he becomes dissatisfied with the monotony of his surroundings, encouraged by tall tales from his adventurous aunt. Determined to explore, he swims downstream to the sea, where he encounters various sea creatures, including a shark and a crafty hermit crab. With the guidance of a pilot fish, Sammy overcomes dangers and discovers Coral-Land, an enchanting lagoon filled with vibrant aquatic life, including beautiful coral reefs and diverse fish species. His experiences in Coral-Land are marked by excitement, encounters with colorful friends like the sun-fish and gold-fish, and learning about the dynamics of oceanic life. However, as time passes, he finds himself longing for home and ultimately decides to return to the comforting waters of his mountain stream by following a school of salmon.
