From Booklist
For one little sunfish, life definitely looks greener on the other side of the pond. Observing the various creatures in his sylvan habitat, Fish desires to be just like them. He wishes to fly like a bird, sport a bobcat’s spots, be a hissing snake, and even stink like a skunk. But a tasty mayfly reminds Fish that he is pretty happy just being himself. Still, he has one more wish: to stay a fish. This title in the I Like to Read series offers budding readers a basic but varied text, a gentle message, and appealing woodcut-style digital illustrations featuring large, arresting figures in richly colored, wood-grained landscapes. Each two-page spread presents a close-up of an animal and its lush, natural environment; concluding scenes of the jubilant, multicolored Fish are particularly captivating. This easy-reading offering on the rewards of being yourself is sure to make a splash with young nature lovers. Preschool-Grade 1. --Kristen McKulski
