Reviews

* ""Excellent early reader. . . Terrific use of composition and layout [and] a supremely satisfying twist. . . A wholly gratifying tale of a small fish in a huge pond that nevertheless proves its mettle."" --Kirkus Reviews in a STARRED review ""October 15, 2025""

""Newly independent readers will dive into a silly ocean tale positively swimming with puns. . . . Much like with Elephant & Piggie, simple cartoon illustrations fill the book's pages and the text is restricted to speech bubbles. . . [Readers'] attention will be captured by the story's humor, wordplay, and fast-moving plot. A fin-tastic addition to beginning reader collections.""--Booklist ""January 2026"" * ""Excellent early reader. . . Terrific use of composition and layout [and] a supremely satisfying twist. . . A wholly gratifying tale of a small fish in a huge pond that nevertheless proves its mettle."" --Kirkus Reviews in a STARRED review ""October 15, 2025""
