""A must-add for individual collections and storytime rotations."" -- Larisa Martin, Youth Librarian, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library ""A lot of actions that parents and tots could act out together as well as reinforcing the colors. A cute little story that would be quick to read, but with a lot of follow up and rereading possibilities."" -- Carolyn Johnson-Hicks, elementary educator ""A charming children's book for ages two and up.... about friendship. The drawings are delightful & it's a fun book to read. My favorite little boy loved it & wanted me to read it again."" -- Carolyn Injoy-Hertz, reviewer ""An excellent book to share with very young children."" -- Barbara Stolz, educator ""Lovely little picture book that focused on friendship and how you can make and be friends with a variety of different people/things - easy to follow and read. I can see everyone loving Little White Fish - highly recommended."" -- Donna McGuire, Donna's Book Blog ""Very colorful and bold....could spark discussions about colors, actions and of course, what lives under the ocean!"" -- I.J Hamilton, Goodreads
