Children's Literature
Little Fish takes his readers through the ocean to meet all of his fish friends. His friends have different shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities. The illustrations are large and bold with one or two fish on each page. The text is fast and fun to read, rhyming in parts, with only a few words per page, and written as large as the illustrated fish. Children are asked to count the fish they see on one page and will be eager to see what kind of fish will greet them on the next page. They will meet stripey fish, gripey fish, scary fish, and hairy fish, as well as dozens more. Children will be able to identify colors and use their counting skills throughout the pages. At the end, readers meet the most important fish of all, the Mom fish. This board book will make a great contribution to a preschooler's library, fun for both the reader and the listener.
