ReviewedBright orange fish bob in the water, darting in and out of scary stinging tentacles. But it’s okay—clown fish are covered in mucus that protects them from the poison that coats their anemone home. And not only can these fancy fish stop the sting of poison, they can also change from males to females in a flash. Clown fish are awesome! Learn all about these fantastic fish.
Part of a 16-item series called "Library of Awesome Animals," this title is attractive, colorful, and just the right length for readers in 1st-3rd grades. Pages are laid out n a clear, mostly uncluttered way. The text eventually gets to promised topics, though sometimes on the following pages. For example, on page 10, readers are told that "clown fish and sea anemones have a great friendship." The following two sentences are about how clown fish benefit from the relationship. Since each page seems like a separate topic, this one being "Best Buddies," the reader may think that the benefits for the sea anemone have been forgotten. But they are addressed on the following page under "Two-Way Street." Since each page serves as a pseudo-chapter, this may confuse some readers.
