Reviews
Wonderfully dramatic story. Unmissable.

With his accustomed subtle interplay of graphic wit, clear language and plain thinking, Lionni wisely proves that a minnow’s grasp should not exceed his oxygen supply – that there’s lots to be said for the life of even a small fish in a small pond.

Picture books I could not live without.
Eric Carle
A superior book, simple, but eye-catching.
