This is the best kind of picture book! We check out 50 library books at a time and this is one of the very best. My 18 month old has been dragging it around for three weeks because it is big and bright. My first and second grader read it and enjoyed the clever illustrations (they don't usually even pick up the picture books). Today I read it for my preschool and it held the attention of all six kid. It was big enough for everyone to see, they couid count, practice colors, practice opposites

This didn't hold X-man's attention at all...
And it didn't hold much interest for me. The fact it is a picture book about fish meant I was making comparisons with Dr. Seuss's One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. I wasn't exactly enamoured with Dr. Seuss's book, and this book didn't compare favourably... More...

The summer reading program this summer (2010) is Make a Splash with Reading, so story time today was 5 fish books. This is the type of story that explores all different types of one thing, really exploring adjectives. The colors were nice and there were heavy black outlines to make the images stand out. Not my favorite book of this type, it it was alright, and a board book.

Summary (CIP): Swim along with Little Fish and meet all his fishy friends in a splishy, splashy riot of color and rhyme under the sea.
REVIEW: This cheerful and imaginative oversized boardbook with concepts and controlled vocabulary hits a little of everything: rhymes, opposites, a few numbers, colors, and patterns galore. Did you ever see fish with hearts, stars, or clouds on them? Or a peacock fish? You’ll see it all in this fun book that ends with a reunion with momma fish an More...

This book is about different kinds of fish. This book is great for young children and emergent readers. This book had rhyming words and great visuals that children can use for context clues to figure out the words. Good book to have in a kindergarten classroom.

I like this book becuase it takes the children on an exploration through the ocean with little fishy. Through the story, little fish, introduce the reader to all his friends in the sea. They all come in differents shares, sizes, and patterns.

This book is very popular with Baby Marissa and her Papa. We enjoy the large drawings and fanciful fish, such as the Eye Fish, Smiley Fish, and Gripy Fish. It's not Dr. Seuss so there are no creative and crazy rhymes, but it's a very cute book.

This was so cute. Had Royce and Dallin giggling. You meet all this silly types of fish throughout and then the favorite fish at the end is the mom fish. Really fun little book. written in rhyme if I remember right.

Whimsical book for toddlers. There are lots of fun fish in the sea but the favorite one is mummy. (I sort of wish they had included daddy as well? Although this book is good for single moms!)

Fishes and fishes and fishes! Beautiful fishes and rhyming fishes, lilting rhythm and lovely art. Enchanting. I'd love prints of every single page of this book, words and all.

This book uses fish to discover patterns, colors, and sizes. I would use this book to discuss the patterns, colors, and sizes we see around us.

Library book. Cute little pictures of different "types" (real and imaginary) of fish. I think Gillian liked it alright.
