I purchased this for my 2 yr old who A) loves Maisy the Mouse B) loves fish - so it was a no brainer! I found the book actually doing a search on Maisy and bought it on a whim. WE LOVE THIS BOOK! The illustrations are fantastic - bold, vibrant colors on a bigger than normal sized book. And the story is very sweet. Worth every penny and definitely a must for your children's book collection.
We were given this book as a gift and have since given it to others. The illustrations aren't anything special for parents (so many kids' books have amazingly artistic illustrations, this isn't one) but my daughter LOVES it. This was the very first book she clearly had a preference for when she was an infant. Now she enjoys 'reading' along with it.The writing has a rhyming pattern that is pleasant to read over and over again and there's enough pages that it doesn't get too boring for parents. It's also really easy to talk with your little one about the drawings and get good practice of words and concepts like: stripes/polka-dots, fat/thin, "1-2-3", etc.
Our 16-month-old son absolutely adores this book! We read it using silly voices for each fish, and he just smiles all the way through. When he wants to read this book, he'll bring it to my husband or me, making kissing noises. It's a shame that this book isn't available in a board book format--we've had to tape and re-tape several of the pages from all of the use it gets!
Extremely colourful with splashes of vibrant colours. This book is all about patterns, teaches patterns and shapes in a fun way. My 2 yr old loves it. Recommended age range 2-4 yrs. (Even though its a colourful book, I would not recommend this for below 2 yrs as discerning patterns may not be possible below 2 yrs and this larger than usual board book may be too heavy for children below 2. Older than 4 would be too old for this book). I liked the board book version better for this book, its larger than a normal sized board book.
Just received this book and read it to my 4 month old for the first time. It's an okay book...not one of our favorites but definitely a keeper.Positives:1. The BRIGHT illustrations. My 4 month old loved looking at the pictures while I read to her.2. I can see that as my little girl gets older we will be able to spend more time looking at the pictures explaining WHY the fish have different patterns and stuff like that.3. Book is a decent length...not very long but definitely not super short so you really can spend a decent amount of time reading it.Negatives:1. The rhyme scheme feels just a little wonky to me...I think as I read it more I will get it down. First time through it was a little rough and didn't flow like I think it should...but I'll get better at it.So...really just the one negative. Overall...a nice addition to our collection and we will enjoy having it in the rotation. Any book with fish is great...we want our little girl to enjoy fishing as much as mommy and daddy when she gets older!
First off, my daughter has loved this book since the first reading. It is one of the few books (along with Wow Ocean and anything Elmo) that she will sit through from cover to cover at her age (she was 18 months old when I first read this to her). The story itself is 5 stars, but I wanted to post a review about the Candlewick version of this book since I was not sure whether to buy the regular hardcover version of this book or the Candlewick version.The book that comes with the Candlewick version is very small in size. I was hoping that it would be in the larger size that the regular hardcover version comes in because the gorgeous color illustrations look so engaging in the larger size. The Candlewick book is mini-sized by comparison. The dimensions of the Candlewick version seemed to match the dimensions of the regular hardcover format in the product description, but the packaging (I.e the sticker sheet and extras) is what makes up the height and width. So you might be surprised or disappointed in the size of the book as I was when you order this version. I probably would have been delighted with this if I hadn't already borrowed the large hardcover version of this book from the library. Somehow the mini-sized pages of the Candlewick version takes away from the impact of the colorful illustrations. The cute stickers, sticker page, and the DVD esp. are very nice extras to have with the book, but (ugh) I ended up spending more $ and ordered the regular hardcover book. I plan to give this mini book away as a stocking stuffer gift.
My son loved this book in its print version, but not as much as an e-book. There was nothing exceptional about it, but it is a fun book for kids to read. The best thing about the print version, the bold colors, doesn't seem to translate very well to the electronic version.
Love this little book, have bought it for both granddaughters. I can recite by memory I have read it so many times because it is always requested at bed time. We also play games with this book..... at the back there is a page with ALL the fish and they are very colorful. So I ask, which one is the clown fish? Which one is the upside down fish? and we spend a few minutes searching through all the fish to find the right ones. LOVE this time with my granddaughter on my lap. Started reading this to her at 1yr and it remained a favorite through 4 yrs. She has now outgrown it, but the new granddaughter is just about old enough to enjoy this. Can't wait!
