Customer Reviews

The first book my son would sit through.

I went to a workshop at the local library on early literacy. This was one of the books the librarian recommended I try. This is the first book my son would sit through at 5 months. I tried other books every day, but could only get through a couple pages. We'd alway end up right back at Hooray for Fish. Positives of this book: - Bold colors and stark contrasts - Simple pictures - Great rhythmic text. "Upside down and round and round" "so many friends, so many fish. Splash, splosh, splish" - There are a couple pages that could be search and find pages. "Can you find a fish that looks like a pineapple?"

Hooray for this Book!

I purchased this for my 2 yr old who A) loves Maisy the Mouse B) loves fish - so it was a no brainer! I found the book actually doing a search on Maisy and bought it on a whim. WE LOVE THIS BOOK! The illustrations are fantastic - bold, vibrant colors on a bigger than normal sized book. And the story is very sweet. Worth every penny and definitely a must for your children's book collection.

Colorful, Silly Fish Illustrations Grab Baby's Attention!

My 19-month old is WILD for this book; it's the reigning favorite at the moment. The silly fish pictures are great and she loves the pages where there are LOTS of fish on the page (including the inside back pages), pointing out to me her favorites from the story. She also has fun picking out the "extra" fish that look like strawberry fish, pineapple fish, etc. The sing-songy rhymes are as fun as the artwork and a definite winner in our house!

Bright and Lively .

I bought this book for my three year old niece and she loves it ! The colors are what really caught her eye and she enjoyed the story too. I was very pleased. Buy this book and you will see what I mean !

Nice, fun book by the author of the Maisy books

This is a big, fun book with bold, colorful artwork, typical of the clean, direct style that guides Cousins' wildly successful "Maisy" series. A cute little fish, named "Little Fish," gives us a tour of the undersea world, introducing us to a bunch of fancifully named friends ("ele-fish," "eye fish," "sky fish," etc.) This has a very Dr. Seuss-y feel to it... It's visually arresting, rhymes well and fun to read aloud. Recommended!
