From Kirkus Reviews
A dazzling introduction to the creatures living in the increasingly threatened environment of a coral reef. ``If I were a fish,'' thinks a child who watches an orange clownfish and imagines himself becoming the fish, taking readers through the author's bright collages of handcrafted papers, buttons, foils, fabric, beads, and ribbons. Oversized type undulates through the ocean, describing dolphins above, sea turtles gliding by, an octopus flanked by a squid squirting ink, sea horses, shrimps, crabs, and a cloud of jellyfish. All leap out of the pages in startling colors. Night finds the clownfish tucked into the tentacles of a sea anemone and making a ``fish wish'' to welcome the scuba-geared child of the opening to its environment. The symbiotic relationship of clownfish to sea anemone is explained in notes in the back, along with interesting facts about the rest of these saltwater creatures. Other back matter includes a diorama with a key to its inhabitants and just enough information about coral reefs to whet young appetites. A fresh and appealing look at a fascinating environment.
