A bright tale of self-acceptance, making friends, and waiting until your tide comes in.
All Anemone wants is a friend, but friends are hard to make when you accidentally sting everyone who comes near you.
Perhaps Clownfish has a solution to the problem ...
'This is, at first glance, a very simple, quite quirky and humorous picture book, with minimal text and appealing, colourful, digitally produced illustrations. But it is also a fascinating introduction to life in a rock pool: who lives there, who visits when the tide comes in, who is stung by the anemone and who it can form a symbiotic relationship with.'
-- Margaret Hamilton * Books+Publishing *'[Anenome is not the Enemy's] dappled art has an appropriately aquatic feel, with the gentle blue of the tides interrupted by the neon zaps of Anemone's stingers. McGregor visually includes simple marine life facts into the backdrop of Anemone's dilemma and then expands upon them in the 'Fun Facts' backmatter, making this a mini-science lesson wrapped in a sweet friendship story.'
* BCCB *'Terrific neon-hued read-aloud fun.'
