Kitteneer’s dream woke her up with a squeak.
Same yucky nightmare she’d had the whole week.
Stretched out her big paws and purred with a yawn.
“Please, no more eels!” she meowed to the dawn.
She tiptoed carefully along the seashore.
“I don’t want to go too deep anymore!”
Suddenly SPLASH! came a cute funny sound.
She put on her mask and looked all around.
BOING! went her nose on an orangey thing.
It BLOOPED out a fart like it wanted to sing.
“Little cat over there! Come and chase me!”
squawked a strange little fish that looked like a bee.
He did a bad cartwheel, then bowed up and down.
“Welcome, dear audience! I’m the clown of this town!
The coral’s my circus, the seaweed’s my tent.
Every day’s showtime, and I’m the main event!”
He twirled on a rock and spun on his head.
Then wiggled and farted. “Bloop!” was all he said.
He juggled three fart bubbles, “Ha! Look at me!”
Then vanished like magic, deep down in the sea.
Kitteneer giggled. Then let out a shriek.
Her fluffy round tail just laughed for a week.
The fish was so silly, so noisy, so bright.
The funniest, giggliest fish in her sight.
She tried juggling bubbles, but they all popped—
on her nose, on her paws, till the bubbles all stopped.
Another fart bounced right off Pufferfish Mum.
She cried, “Baby Puff!” But no one would come.
There he was trembling, above a big rock.
Then POOF! He blew up with a great giant PLOP!
“Our baby’s gone puffing!” Mum cried in a fright.
The baby fish puffed up and bounced out of sight!
He bounced off Kitteneer, to her weirdest surprise…
And both Puff and Kitteneer ended with cross-eyes!
Then every new fright made him puff up some more,
as he floated up higher than ever before.
The seahorses tugged. The crabs grabbed a fin.
But Puff just kept bouncing in his pufferfish spin.
Bloop wiggled his bottom.
“Stand back!” came his cry.
“I’ve got a funny idea, let me try!”
BLOOP! went a bubble.
Pfffft! went his bum.
Baby Puff giggled,
“Your fart tickled my tum!”
He floated down lower with every big fart,
like a balloon that was hit by a very sharp dart!
“It’s working!” cheered Mum.
Kitteneer clapped her paws.
Pufferfish Mum cried,
“Please fart some more!”
“Um… so sorry, everyone… I gave you a fright!”
Mum pulled him close and held him tight.
“You’re just learning,” she said.
“One day you’ll control your exploding head.”
Baby Puff giggled.
Bloop smiled at Mum.
“Just tell me when you need my bloop farting bum!”
“Whoa!” laughed Kitteneer, blowing bubbles—
POP POP POP!
“Your name must be Bloop as your farts never stop!”
“Yep! You can say that I’m silly and loud.
I just love blooping in front of a crowd!”
They played hide-and-seek as day turned to night,
till the last orange sunbeam slipped out of sight.
Good friends make you giggle and have a fun day.
They bubble up joy in their own bloopy way.
Blooping and farting! How fun it can be!
It’s so much more fun with good friends in the sea.
Being YOU-nique
is the best way to be…
I’m happy you’re you,
and I’m happy I’m me!
Bloop is full of fart-tastic surprises!
Born to ClownBright orange, white stripes, and not the best swimmers! They wiggle and waddle wherever they go — that’s how they got their name!
Sting-Proof SkinA special slime lets clownfish live safely inside stinging anemones. The sting keeps predators away — but never hurts the clownfish!
Click! Pop!Clownfish “talk” by snapping their teeth together — no vocal cords needed!
Boy to Girl!All clownfish are born boys. The biggest, boldest one can turn into a girl if the large Mum dies. How cool!
Dad’s on DutyClownfish dads are great parents — they guard the eggs and fan them with their fins until they hatch!
PersonalityEach clownfish has a strong, different personality — some are so brave, they’ll attack you if you dive down to their anemone!
Can You Say It?Try saying “anemone” (uh-NEM-uh-nee) three times, fast! Did it come out silly? Now YOU sound like a clown too!
