Synopsis

Red fish, purple shells, green seaweed — there are so many colors to find with Little Fish in this deep-sea delight from Lucy Cousins.

Little Fish is off on a fun, rhyming adventure underwater, spotting colors along the way: blue fish, yellow coral, maybe even a pink seahorse. The bright orange star of Hooray for Fish! loves swimming in the sea, and little ones will love looking at and learning colors in this sturdy board book from the creator of Maisy.

Reviews

Baby-Toddler—Little Fish embarks on a color-finding adventure deep in the sea. Focusing on a single color, each spread includes correspondingly colored coral and other sea life. A pair of hand-painted rhyming lines encourages the reader in this game of I-spy. The adventure ends when Little Fish finds orange Mommy Fish. Black outlines of irregular width enclose bold, cartoonish sea creatures. Rendered in her characteristic gauche, Cousins's artwork has a slapdash quality that the youngest readers may find relatable, but adults may overlook as juvenile. Little Fish as a character is so small that they are barely noticeable. Because of this, the text reads as if the reader were the first-person voice: "I can spot the color brown." Still, the text reads easily and invites participation from young readers. VERDICT For reader engagement and participation, this book is recommended for most collections.—Richelle Rose, Kenton County Public Library, KY
