Books with title Fish is fish

"With full-color photographs and careful anatomical drawings, charts, and diagrams, Fish educates even the casual browser. Each two-page section opens with a general text, while captions underneath the numerous pictures generously provide specific facts about every facet of fish life--camouflage, early fishes, oddities, and physiology. Libraries will not want to be without this absorbing entry in the Eyewitness Books series."--Booklist.

"Tallec's depiction of this underwater world is breathtaking; he seamlessly integrates photographs of reeds, water lilies, frogs and ducks with his original artwork. Each page has depth, light, color and density."—School Library Journal"Would that every child have as wonderful an imagination as Gus, who in the meantime can serve as their role model."—Kirkus Reviews

My story starts the day that my parents told me we must leave our adopted home forever. Because of the soldiers and the drought we barely had enough to eat and we could no longer stay to help the people in our village.Right before we were leaving I saw a fish in a small brown puddle and I knew I had to take it with me. The journey would be hard to get across the mountains—to the safety of the border and the people there who could help us. Yet when I put the fish in the pot I never realized what we would have to face. It never occurred to me to leave Fish behind.A subtle and sophisticated exploration of life, the strength of humanity, and survival in an unforgiving world, Fish is a story that will teach those who doubt that, when hope is almost extinguished, miracles can happen.
