Publishers Weekly
Leo Lionni's Fish Is Fish (1970) brings back the tale of a friendship between a tadpole and minnow, and the changes wrought when the now-fully-fledged frog tries to describe the wonders above ground to his finned friend. Lionni's palette, as iridescent as the scales of a minnow gleaming in the sun, is as captivating as ever. Copyright 2005 Publishers Weekly Used with permission.
Review quotes
"With his accustomed subtle interplay of graphic wit, clear language, and plain thinking, Lionni wisely proves that a minnow's grasp should not exceed his oxygen supply." —The New York Times "A superior book, simple, but eye-catching." —School Library Journal. "If the picture book is a new visual art form in our time, Leo Lionni is certain to be judged a master of the genre." —The New York Times
