Title: A sweet story with clever illustrations
Review: I was surprised to see that this book is apparently out of print (I get it from my local library). The young children I teach enjoy it very much. I think it's great for preschoolers because in order to spot the mother fish on each page, they need to match the color and shape pattern of the little fish, which sharpens their observation skills and even relates to math (matching patterns). Whenever I read it, kids get very excited when they can spot the bit of the mother peeking out from behind a plant or another fish. Aside from that, it's a sweet story about a little lost fish looking for his mom, which is very meaningful and engaging for young children. I definitely recommend this book.
