Hooray For Fish Hooray For Fish by Lucy Cousins Read Aloud Books Read Aloud for Kidslucy cousins read aloudmaisy book read aloudRead aloud books read alo. "Kiss, kiss, kiss," proclaims the text as the two pucker up. Just when readers think there aren't any more fish to meet, Little Fish introduces the "one I love best, even more than all the rest"-his Mom. Hooray For Fish Home Childrens Picture Books Board & Novelty Authors Lucy Cousins ISBN 9781406373158 Published 01 / 02 / 2017 Binding Board Book Pages 36 Dimensions 180 x 207 x 20mm Paddle along with Little Fish on a mesmerizing underwater tour of friends spotty and stripy, happy and gripy, hairy and scary, even curly whirly and twisty twirly. Cousins's exuberant illustrations bring new meaning to the old saying, "plenty of fish in the sea." She packs her saturated, neon-hued pages with an undersea menagerie that includes a huge school of tiny minnow-esque fish and a comically preposterous "ele-fish," complete with trunk. However much bigger, fatter, flamboyant or even grumpier the other fish may be, Little Fish always offers up a friendly greeting: "Hello, spotty fish, stripy fish, happy fish, gripy fish," says Little Fish, flashing his bright eyes and smiling to the finny passersby (the text is set in the author's signature black, boldly roughhewn typography). ![]() Yes, he's diminutive (made to seem more so in this oversize volume), but the hero, whose orange, yellow and teal coloring brings to mind a particularly luscious frozen confection, is no chicken of the sea. Anyone who thought Cousins's Maisy was the ne plus ultra of cute had better make room for Little Fish, her latest star. ![]()
