Clownfish Aren't So Funny by Matt Weiss
Dive in and enjoy these surprising stories about the ocean's smallest creatures! Clownflsh aren’t funny, cuttlefish aren’t cuddly, and mantis shrimp aren’t so shrimpy (they’re TOUGH dudes)! While sharks, whales, and dolphins get plenty of attention, the real drama of the ocean takes place in the nooks and crannies of coral reefs. And some of the coolest critters there are no bigger than a golf ball, stay hidden from plain sight, and are real killers. Featuring absolutely stunning close-up photography, Clownfish Aren’t So Funny sends an important message about conservation and environmental responsibility even as it tells the compelling stories of the ocean’s smaller, but still deadly, inhabitants.
