I'm 35 years old and this was my favorite book as a child. I've looked high and low thinking that it was a Crockett Johnson book, because of the unique drawings. Turns out, he only illustrated it.

This is an easy read for beginning readers and a great story-time book for the younger ones. What a great time we live in that a person can go on a computer and find several copies of a book that was last printed in 1969. It would've taken me years to find it in book stores. Thank you Amazon.

I remember my mother reading this book to me and recently found it to read to my children. THEY LOVE IT!!! It is full of repetition and has a great predictable storyline. The illustrations are tri-color and wonderful. I highly recommend this book!

I bought this hard to find book for my son and my grandchildren. It was my son's favorite book when he was young and now my grandchildren are now enjoying it. This book has brought many good memories in my life.

I a 39 years old with 4 children- Pre-school to high school. This was my ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOK as a child. I have searched antique stores for it, wishing for years that I had coveted my copy of this book, but I guess it just got away. Jill Reiter, Parker Colorado

I am so excited to see this book back in print. I have the original soft covered book I had as a child. I loved this book so much I kept it. It's not in great shape so I keep it packed away for old times sake. I am now turning 40 this month and can't wait to share it with my child. I am a teacher and thought I remembering the boy in the story resembling the boy in Harold and the Purple Crayon. Come to find out they share the same author. I'm going to also request for our librarian to purchase a copy for our school. Enjoy!

I had this book as a child and loved it, but lost it. I was so happy to find it at amazon. They really do have an impressive selection of books.

This is a great book for kids just learning to read. Even 2 and 3 year olds love reading along with you (it repeats so many times that they know the words by heart after reading it a time or two). This book works really well if the child reads it to you or at least pretends to read it.

I am 34 years old it was my all time favourite as a child growing up in Canada. I now live in the United States and have a child of my own. I now want to share this great story with him. He is 2 1/2 and loves fish. Thanks!!!!!!

It is a real classic and I continue to buy multiple copies to have on hand to give to the latest arrivals. Also, its simplicity makes it a great tool to teach young children (as young as 3 years old) to learn to read. Kathleen McElroy

I had this book as a child and wanted my 4 year old grandson to have it as well. Book is still relevant today and he gets a big kick out of it. Book is hardcover.
