While Peter Stein is not a fish expert, he did once raise two goldfish geniuses that lived long, meaningful lives. Peter is the author of more than a dozen gift books and children's books, including the popular Galore series with artist Bob Staake. A Tree for Mr. Fish is his second book as author-illustrator. Peter lives above water with his family in Northern California.
This story about friendly cooperation, expressed through dialogue, soliloquy, and narrative, is a comical hoot; the simple, matter-of-fact, dryly witty text will arouse kids' giggles throughout. The riotous cartoon illustrations ably drive the lively proceedings; Mr. Fish is especially expressive, a master of the absurd. Note the punny final page . . . Nothing fishy here: an adorable, laugh-out-loud winner. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review Whimsical, quirky, and unpredictable enough to keep kids and adults alike on their toes, this is a winner for story times or one-on-one--an all-around charming addition to picture book collections. --School Library Journal, starred review
