Industry Reviews

The rhythm of the language is captivating even the youngest toddler and the pictures are engaging and beautifully imagined. It is a story that has become a favourite in our household. -- Felix's parent * Booktopia *
The rhyming and repetition will make this a favorite read-aloud choice for storytime, as children will happily participate in reading the repeated sections, which are so easily and quickly memorized. In addition, there is a "Fishy Facts" spread at the back of the book that contains a true fact about each animal in the story (including "A blue whale can eat millions of krill a day!"), which would make for a fantastic introduction to a discussion on the size of sea creatures and the food chain. * Kids Can Press *
