Fish Wish

Author-Artist: Bob Barner

Ages: 2-6

Fish Wish is the story of a boy imagining to be a clownfish living in a coral reef. He tells of the clownfish seeing dolphins, turtles, jellyfish, seahorses, shrimps, crabs, an octopus, and a squid.

The text is very simple and short. This book is about the wonderful collages that Barner has created to show the beauty of the coral reef. The book contains a picture glossary so that the child and reader can identify the various creatures seen in the story. The last page of the book contains more details children, parents, or teachers wishing to learn more about coral reefs.

Fish Wish is a great book, with whimsical artwork, for the youngest children who enjoy fish, ocean life, aquariums, or Finding Nemo.
