Customer Reviews

My son's first favorite book.

This was my one year old son's first favorite book and the title one of his first spoken phrases. It's colorful and easy to follow. We used it for reading at his first birthday party. It is now used by his Kindemusik teacher. I highly recommend this book.

Great for 3 months+

We started reading this book to our son at 3 months and he's now a year old and he still likes reading it. It's bright colorsand clown fish make him very happy. Bab Barner's illustrations are set apart from many other childrens books. We love it at our house.

My daughter's favorite book

My daughter is 2 and a half and she asks me to read this book to her every day. She loves finding the orange fishy on each page as well as identifying all of his friends. How many 2 years old know what a sea anemone is? Well thanks to this book she does. I am sure that this book will be the foundation of a life long love of the ocean. I just hope that when she is grown there will be some coral reefs left for her to explore. On a quick side note, if your child likes this book try I Saw the Sea and the Sea Saw Me by Megan Montague Cash. The two books are great when read together and will give your child a real appreciation for the creatures that inhabit our oceans.

Wishing on Fishes

Colorful collages made from cloth, paper, buttons, seed beadsand tin foil decorate the pages of this simple story about a boys wishto be a fish. The book starts with, "If I were a fish..." and travels through the coral reef to show dolphins, jellyfish and sea anemone. The back of the book highlights and gives a brief background about each of the animals pictured. A beautiful book and a great learning tool.
