A speed-read on OpenLibrary - I thought it may have been a long lost book from my past, but no. Nice illustrations, and a good perspective on each double-spread: you really see things as the clown fish does (so often the illustrators are tempted to show the entire system reef in all its beauty and ecological splendour - stayed focused here and on-topic).

Truly beautiful illustrations!
A great story, with lots of interesting facts about Clown Fish woven throughout.

[Sarah Threlkeld · Rating 2 out of 5]

The best part of this book is the colorful pictures. The story itself is very straightforward, chronicling the life of a clown fish and the captures it comes in contact with. This book would appeal to kids who are nuts about ocean life.

This book is well-written. My son received it for Christmas and still loves it.
