Fish has a wish. He wishes he were a bird so he could fly. He wishes he were a skunk so he could make a big stink. . . or a snake that says HISSSSSSSSS. But after enjoying a delicious mayfly snack, Fish realizes he's happy exactly as he is. The stunning artwork draws from Asian and classical European wildlife art, and is both elegant and bold. An I Like to Read (R) book. Guided Reading Level E.

Michael Garland is a fine artist and children's book author and illustrator. His fine art can be found in private and corporate collections. His FISH HAD A WISH was praised as "a striking picture book. . .a keeper" in a starred review in Kirkus Reviews. He lives in New Jersey.
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
