Speaking at a Local Middle School by Allen and Linda Anderson

Do You Have a Good

Fish Story?

This week, we had the pleasure of visiting a middle school to speak with the fifth graders about our books and to share animal stories. It was so much fun to watch their faces light up as they told about special pets. They also asked good writing questions such as, "What is your favorite genre?"

One little girl told about how the family had made a mistake by putting a predatory fish in their fish tank. The big one had eaten all but a few of the smaller fish by the time they discovered the tragedy. They watched in awe as one of the medium sized fish nudged the tiniest fish to the bottom of the tank and hid him behind a clump of algae. Then he used his body as a shield to keep the big fish from seeing the little one.

Don't you just love it?

Any fish stories out there? When have you observed fish in an aquarium or in the wild doing some act of kindness or other action you never expected?
