This hilarious fish chant has had fish lovers laughing since 2004 when the hardcover was released. Now available in paperback, the jaunty text begs to be chanted out loud. Wacky, bold illustrations add even more humor, yet accurately depict dozens of freshwater fish. This unique concept teaches kids the names of fish in an entertaining way. This picture book is more than just laugh-out-loud fun. Four pages of fact-filled end matter provide lots of information to satisfy teachers, parents and kids who want more, more, more! Even non-fish lovers will giggle their way through this book. The interactive chant and repetition of words is perfect for classrooms, storytime read-alouds or for bedtime!
Stella and her little brother are spending the day at the sea. Stella has been to the sea before and knows all its secrets, but Sam has many questions. "Where do starfish come from? Does a catfish purr? Does a sea horse gallop?" Stella has an answer for them all. The only thing she isn’t sure of is whether Sam will ever come into the water. Evocative watercolors bring a diaphanous day at the beach alive in this perfect summer story. Gently humorous, the book also captures the relationship between an older sister and her baby brother — a responsibility that can be both lots of fun and very trying.Above images and descriptions from Amazon.com
