Mia ★★★★★

My kid asked for this one every single night for two weeks straight. The story about the clever fish sticking together is such a sweet lesson, and the watercolor textures on each page feel almost like you're underwater with them.

Grace F. ★★★★★

The illustrations are absolutely stunning, with those watery blues and the little fish that just pop off the page. My kid loves following along with the clever fish's journey, and I don't mind reading it twice in a row.

William U. ★★★★★

My 4-year-old asks for this one every night now—the underwater scenes keep her mesmerized, and the clever fish story is perfect for teaching problem-solving.
