Rating: - Excellent book to share with young children
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.

Rating: - A lot of fun
A slightly different rhythm from Julia Donaldson's usual rhyming books, but this one is a gorgeous treat to read aloud for that reason. I've begged my husband to stop doing Tiddler with a cockney accent, he enjoys himself far too much and is terrible at it. I happen to deliver the definitive version, and it's the book we both hope our daughter will ask for at bedtime. Fun, funny, and a bit subversive in that the liar isn't punished!

A lovely story but please be careful as another book by the same authors called "the fish who cries wolf" is actually the same book with a different story. My daughter was very disappointed when handed a new book with a new cover but exactly the same inside.

This is a wonderful story with a relaxed rhyming text which is so easy and enjoyable to read to very young children. My children of 3 and 2 years absolutely adore this story and were delighted to spot "the Gruffalo fish" among the illustrations. At three years old, I had never heard of "sunfish", "butterfish" and "dab". If you are looking for fun, enjoyable (and educational) storytimes with your children, I really recommend this book.

Rating: - Another Classic, whether you like it or not
This gets four stars because my daughter and youngest son like it, not because I like it. With the success of The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom it seems that Donaldson can do no wrong, and it is almost heresy to say that you are not quite keen. I however, as a parent, am not quite keen.

For me the rhymes, which are sloppy and squashed to fit the story, totally spoil what would otherwise be delightful books. I hate reading them aloud to the children. I can however see that my kids ... Read More
