She loved to turn the pages and to look for Little Fish, who appears in each drawing. This was, without a doubt, my daughter's favourite book in her first year. The fact that some of the fish are very fanciful makes it a great book for spotting things - colours, shapes, stripes and spots, as well as hair, teeth and even a fish that looks like a pineapple! The illustrations are bold and enticing for young readers, and there are lots of lovely descriptive words in the text. Lucy Cousins, best known for creating Maisy the mouse, has really gone to town dreaming up all sorts of weird and wonderful undersea creatures. After being introduced to happy fish, grumpy fish, hairy fish, scary fish and even curly-wurly fish (amongst others), we finally get to meet Little Fish's favourite fish of all - Mummy! In this charming book for pre-schoolers, Little Fish invites us to explore the ocean and meet all his friends.
