Description

A spectacular carousel pop-up book that follows the journey of a little lost fish as it tries to find its way back to the coral reef.

Little Fish tells the charming story of a fish finding its way back home to the reef, through five spectacular pop-up scenes. Readers will delight in being able to follow the little fish swimming in a world packed with brightly colored corals, clams and fish, through a seaweed forest; under the eye of a greedy-looking grouper; and quickly past a menacing shark, and all the way back home again.

Told in a lulling rhyme reminiscent of the waves, and illustrated by Emily Rand in a playful, patterned style, Little Fish is an eye-popping story that celebrates the wonder of ocean life. Produced as a carousel format, which stands up independently when its cover boards are tied back together, this wonderful book will be enjoyed by anyone who experiences its unique, immersive artistry.

Praise for Little Fish

A reef in the round provides both home and hazards for a small orange goby. The layering of the die-cut characters against their environment makes for pleasingly three-dimensional…tableaux.
