Critics Review
“Youngsters will eagerly turn the pages to see how Splish escapes from one desperate situation only to land in another… readers love big words, and this story of Splish the ‘cunningly camouflaged kind of fish’ and later a ‘really ridiculously ravenous kind of fish,’ has plenty. Adventurous vocabulary and alliteration make this a great choice for sharing aloud… The perfect story for young readers who are always on the move and may be ‘clever fish’ themselves.“—School Library Journal
“Splish (the fish) is a wily protagonist indeed. With bright colors, hilarious action sequences, and extremely read-aloud-friendly language, Splish (the book) is grand, silly fun with a twist I was definitely not expecting.“—Third Place Books, WA (Edelweiss review)
“A story about resilience, problem-solving, and making the most out of every opportunity, this tale makes for a perfect read aloud book. The illustrations add perfectly to the text and make this an all around engaging read. The text lends itself to interaction and promises to bring the giggles!“—Warren County Library, NJ (Edelweiss review)
