Review
" . . . a charming repetitive text that follows three children in a family through the day while affirming the joy in ordinary activities without becoming overly sentimental." - Judy Sarick, The Bayview Post, Toronto, Ontario
"The rhythmic simple text is perfect for the neophyte reader... But it is the illustrations and the story in those illustrations that make Fishes in the Ocean an extra special delight." - The Lethbridge Herald
" . . . even the most rhythm-challenged adult cant help but fall into the cadence of its easy rhymes." - Owl Canadian Family
