DESCRIPTION:
First they catch the letter F and next the letter I, but then things get more complicated in the water. VERDICT This essentially wordless story uses visual details and letters to create a gripping story and a clever word game. Cartoon illustrations done in pen and watercolor use a limited palette of black, white, aqua, and red, giving the art striking contrasts and a retro comic feel. A strong addition.—Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA . In one final plot twist, readers discover that these letters were meant

Hazel Motes said It's a keeper!. A simple story. No moral to the story. No "What have we learned today, children?" kind of story, "about sharing, and never giving up, and swiping off our smartphones to discover the wonder of nature in our own backyard?" Let me tell you, kids don't like those kinds of stories; their grannies do. Kids like a story that challenges, makes them wonder where the plot is going, makes them tickle at a turned page, and gives them that "oh!" moment at the denouement. Kind of like adults! That's this book. Simple illustrations drive the plot, and children will have to figure out what the heck is going on. Cat Moriarty said A page turner!. Loved the story and the illustrations are absolutely beautiful! The book unfolds easily along a solid story path, while creating ample space for multiple narratives (and re-reads!) for youngsters. Seamlessly designed to encourage and allow for endless imagination for parents and young readers, and the chance to explore other dimensions beyond the obvious. The fun and faithful pooch is such a recognizable and constant hero on many pages! Bought more copies for our friends with kids as this is a real page-turner for wee ones!. Sly Humor and Delightful Illustrations Grabs the Reader "FISH" is wonderfully imaginative, using delightful illustrations to tell a delightful tale about a boy and his dog who go "fishing" forwell, I don't want to give away the story except to say, your child from age two on up can "read" this book to you with, perhaps, a different hook each time.Mr. Walsh is also a cartoonist for the New Yorker and, as you will see, he has a sly humor that will appeal to all ages.
