Format: Hardcover
My 3.5 year old son received this book for Christmas this year. The story is about a curious fish that is caught by a boy named Tom. Tom wishes to keep the fish for a pet and so he brings it home and places it in a glass jar full of water. A newt who saw Tom capture the small fish tells the fish's family and the family then plans to retreive the fish from the boy. A frog places a spell on the fish and they are able to sprout legs and go to Tom's house. There are parts to the book that are mildly humorous. The only thing I really didn't like about this story is that the word "stupid" is used once. This story is a big long for younger crowds, my 3.5 y.o. sat through it without a problem, but my 22 mos old would not listen at all.

My 3.5 yr old daughter loves this book! It is somewhat long so we usually read a few pages at a time and she always gets excited to see what is coming up in the book. Not only is the story entertaining but the pictures are great also. Highly recommend!

Wonderful book. There are a few words that I would be okay not being used but overall it's absolutely lovely. My son loves fish. He's almost 3.

This is a lovely old fashioned story as others have stated. It can start interesting stories with young children who enjoy listening to it and commenting on the illustrations.
