A book with no words. A young boy finds an underwater camera and develops a picture of a windup fish and matching real fish. I have been reading this with 2nd - 4th grade classes. We have the gamut from underwater robot factories to a camera that is disguised as a fish so it can get pics of other fish without scaring them. Each page students are asked to come up with different sentences to write the story themselves. Each time we stop they cry for more. I can't wait for more either. I just wish I had thought to tape each class and write out the story they come up with. My son's comment: 'it lets your imagination roar like the waves.'
