Fish Tale, Or, the Little One That Got Away

In this beautiful book for juveniles, Leo Yerxa's color-drenched watercolors & shimmering stenciled pastels vividly evoke the magical underwater garden. The offbeat parable he tells is engaging & humorous. When you're a young fish among many, & a dart-school failure, life in the underwater garden grows tiresome. And what of these stories about the surface world, told by the old fuddie-duddies? Stories of hooks, cooks & fishing rods, rivers of gold, & humans who can swallow you whole -- are they true? When our hero is enticed to the surface to investigate by the ne'er-do-well Jack, he quickly learns that these stories are all too true & even finds the answer to his perennial question: Why am I a small fry?ÓYerxa, Leo is the author of 'Fish Tale, Or, the Little One That Got Away' with ISBN 9780756763909 and ISBN 0756763908.
