Anemone is not the Enemy

I have been to the beach before and I love to watch a cartoon about ocean animals. Anemone is not the Enemy is a good book for kids who like the ocean, especially anemones that live in the ocean. In this story, Anemone is lonely and wants a friend. Anemone must wait for the high tide for potential friends. When the high tide comes, Anemone must know how to act around new fish to make them want to be her friend. Anemone wonders if she’ll ever find someone to be her friend or if she’s stuck being lonely and alone forever.

I learned a lot from reading this book. I like that it is one that I can read by myself. I like that I learned how an anemone acts around other fish and how it can hurt and help them. I like watching what is going on around Anemone on the beach with the silly hermit crabs; the pictures are calm and not busy. I like how the book ends and how it is a happy ending for some characters and a not-so-happy ending for other characters. I learned that it is better to try being nice to someone first instead of being mean right away.
