The pictures are unique and absolutely luscious; the text is simple but so very clever and the package as a whole is timeless. Everything about this book is awe-inspiring and memorable, so there is little reason to think that any child from Reception to Year 2 would not enjoy it and can easily lend itself to discussion and analysis ...

'This delightful series of board books is aimed at very young children.
The bright pictures, with their patches of different textures, are designed to develop sensory and language awareness.
Babies and toddlers will love turning the pages and touching the feely patches.'
10 sturdy board pages in the popular 2-page spread, with a line of clear, easy-to-follow text on each.
This book is further enhanced by those `patches' and the repeat on the words:- 'That's not my penguin'.

Dont get me wrong its a great book, LOOK I gave it 5 stars. But I was expecting it tob be like Alex Rider of Jason Steed. After Ravens Gate I thought it would be better.
Its still a great novel and I recommend it although not for under 14.

A wonderful tale about a fish (with a big imagination)who has an adventure. My eldest son(5)loves reading this story and joining in with parts of the text. Illustrations enhance the book futher, as does learning the names of a large variety of fish who appear throughout the story. Another great addition to bedtime.

She's the target audience, right? I'm a huge fan of Donaldson/Scheffler books, but this one isn't much fun to read aloud - for me! my daughter thinks it's great. She'd more or less memorised it in a couple of readings. I have already come to dread the repetition ('Come little monkey, come come come') and am frustrated by both the idiot butterfly and the ungrateful monkey. You can confidently go ahead and buy this book for your toddler to enjoy, but you may not have as good a time along with her.

My 7 year old son loves audio books and we have lots! He likes King Arthur tales but they can often be quite difficult to read and understand. However this is read brilliantly and we have both been gripped. Admittedly I have quite often had to pause it and explain parts but it is read in chapters which gives you convenient places to recap. We have listened travelling to and from school and for 3 nights we sat in the car on the drive listening to see what happens. This is a great next step if they are getting a little to old for 'Stories for 5/6/7 year olds" audio books. It really is great. Buy it!
