Very simple graphics, very simple text. I thought it might be hard for the babies to follow the story and I'm not sure they did but they just stared at me through the whole thing! Outside of a little voice change for the size of the fish it seemed boring to me, but they were engrossed. Go figure. I used it for narrative skills and retold it with a flannelboard.
Loads of repetition about a little fish, big fish, bigger fish, and biggest fish as one tries to eat the other. In the chase, they pass through a small hole, then a smaller hole, and finally the smallest hole. This is a patterned story perfect for beginning ELLs.
Zoe LOVED this book and had me reading it over and over again resulting in her outpouring of laughter every time!
Simple story with bright illustrations about different size fishes in the blue sea
Wasn't to sure if I would like this one . Simple and sweet my boys loved it .
Very simple. A story of size relationships.
Also perfect for emerging readers

This spare book is bright, colorful, and fun. It is perfect for read-alouds for children 2 and up, who can get the humor of it. My daughters love it and I love looking at because the colors are so hypnotic.

Great book that introduces differences and many concepts in just a few short pages. Text is very minimal and the pictures are stark and contrast well. Great for baby storytimes.
One of my favorit books to give as a kids gift. Love it!!
great story with hardly any words.
