Friends And Anemones

FRIENDS AND ANEMONES: Ocean Poems for Children, is a fun and informative collection of original poems and art by New England authors and illustrators. Hands join fins in an adventure through kelp forests to meet sea otters and whales. Attend an underwater birthday party! Voyage through tempests to bottom-of-the-ocean volcanos and mysterious creatures in the deep, deep darkness. This book is a valuable ecological and poetry resource for parents as well as librarians and teachers. The Writers' Loft brings together authors and artists from all over New England to collaborate, because writing doesn't have to be a solitary pursuit!

A funny tale of mishap, misunderstanding, and the search for true friendship in an ocean rockpool. 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... Perfect for fans of Jon Klassen, Mac Barnett, and Mo Willems. With bright, neon illustrations.

Maybe Abby Knight shouldn't have chosen a home and garden show sponsored by Uniworld Food as the venue for her protest against the corporation's harmful farming practices. But being bodily removed from the event won't stop her campaign. Nor will a burning brick thrown through her flower shop's window. After she narrowly escapes being kidnapped three times, Abby calls in the big guns-her ex-Ranger boyfriend Marco and her friends and family. And then the stakes are raised by murder...

Sixth-grader Rory's story of his impossible-to-hide speech challenge and middle-school drama is perfect for fans of Sharon Draper's Out of My Mind. Rory still can't say his r's, but that's just the beginning of his troubles. First Rory's ex-best-friend Brent started hanging out with the mean lacrosse kids. But then, a terrible accident takes Brent out of school, and Rory struggles with how to feel. Rory and his new speech teacher put their heads together on Rory's r's (as well as a serious love of hard rock and boxing legend Muhammad Ali), but nobody seems to be able to solve the problem of Rory's complicated feelings about Brent. Brent's accident left him with a brain injury and he's struggling. Should Rory stand up for his old friend at school--even after Brent failed to do the same for him?

Anemones are amongst the most iconic of marine life. Try imagining a reef system, reef television show, or fish store without anemones. Hard to do, isn't it? Anemones are seemingly ubiquitous fixtures in all these. Sea Anemones are also near the very top of livestock groups being easily killed; know that the vast majority of specimens aquarists try only live days to a few weeks in hobbyists care. The great shame is that the majority of these losses could be prevented by simple practices, through knowledge proffered here that is readily available regarding their captive husbandry. After decades of working in the ornamental aquatics trade; spanning collecting these animals, retailing them; keeping them in service account tanks... and the past twenty years aiding others through our website, WetWebMedia.com, I have decided (as in nothing is decided till it's done) to produce this written work detailing the gross to minor errors that to date result in mass mortality of Anemones. As you will find, the problems with Anemone keeping are diverse and several. From a too-often lack of patience in their removal (tearing of the foot/pedicle) in the wild and along through the chain of custody; through foolish lack of provision for their basic needs in terms of light, circulation, water quality, nutrition; as well as errors in mis-stocking/incomplete acclimation and placement with inappropriate tankmates... all will be revealed here.

A collection of never-before-seen poetry and art, by an assortment of authors and illustrators. From a shoe-shopping centipede to an endearing baby flamingo to a stealthy barracuda, the characters dazzle. Three seek and find activities in the back matter makes this book a great addition for teachers, librarians, and families for poetry month!
