By A Customer

This review is from: Coral Reef Hideaway : The Story of a Clown Anemonefish (Smithsonian Oceanic Collection) (Hardcover)

This book is a story about two Clown Anemonefish and their lives. It takes place near Papua New Guinea in the great barrier reef. They live in sea anemone tentacles for safety. It tells about life under the sea with the animals and the plants. And at the end the two fish lay eggs. It has big, colorful illustrations and is fun and interesting to read.
