Customer Reviews

Found It!

This story is so simple, and I add to it, I've been reading to my grand. The book fell apart. When I saw this book was available, I purchased both of them. It's repetitive and my grand at 3 still enjoys hearing me read it to him.

I bought this hard to find book for my son and my grandchildren. It was my son's favorite book when he was young and now my grandchildren are now enjoying it. This book has brought many good memories in my life.

I am sooooo excited to have found this book again!

I a 39 years old with 4 children- Pre-school to high school. This was my ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOK as a child. I have searched antique stores for it, wishing for years that I had coveted my copy of this book, but I guess it just got away. Jill Reiter, Parker Colorado

I can't believe I found it!!!!!!!!

I am 34 years old it was my all time favourite as a child growing up in Canada. I now live in the United States and have a child of my own. I now want to share this great story with him. He is 2 1/2 and loves fish. Thanks!!!!!!

An excellent beginner book!

I remember my mother reading this book to me and recently found it to read to my children. THEY LOVE IT!!! It is full of repetition and has a great predictable storyline. The illustrations are tri-color and wonderful. I highly recommend this book!
