A little fish claims, "I'm a big fish." The other sea life disagrees as they are all clearly bigger than him. The surprise at the end proves the little guy can be dangerous!
Colorful, comic-like illustrations capture the fun of the wordplay (puns) that will make kids giggle and parents LOL "Fin-tastic" and saying, "That sounds fishy" will captivate young readers. Speech bubbles--a comic book staple--are used throughout and each character's personality shines.
I Am a Big Fish! is a great starting book for young readers. The use of simple words and using illustrations to further the storytelling allows the reader to enjoy the story without thinking about LEARNING to read. Readers will feel a sense of accomplishment for reading a book...an entire book!
Highly recommended ages 2 and up. If your child sits on your lap while reading, it's never to early to show them letters and sight words. I am a HUGE fan of the Reader-To-Read books. They are well-done and guide parents how to read/present the book at each level.
