Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreS–Cousins takes youngsters on an excursion to the bottom of the ocean where cheerful Little Fish greets a wide variety of friends. Playful rhymes such as Hello spotty fish,/stripy fish,/happy fish,/gripy fish add to the merriment. Finally, Little Fish meets none other than his own mother with Kiss, kiss, kiss,/hooray for fish! The various creatures include fish with numbers for gills and with strange shapes and sizes. The deep blue backgrounds change hue throughout the pages much as the sea changes colors at different depths and climates. Team this appealing oversize book with Dr. Seuss's One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (Random, 1960), Robert Kalan's Blue Sea (HarperCollins, 1992), and Nancy Van Laan's Little Fish, Lost (S & S, 1998) for a swimming good time.–Bina Williams, Bridgeport Public Library, CT

From Booklist
PreS. The creator of Maisy the mouse turns to the underwater world in this winning title that features her signature bright hues and cheerful, childlike creatures. The stars here are fish, and Cousins matches a gloriously decorated assortment of them with rhyming text that encourages children to look carefully and think about similarities and differences: "Hello, spotty fish, stripy fish, happy fish, gripy fish," says a friendly baby fish, who continues to introduce friends, including "curly whirly," "twisty twirly," and other fish of many shades and temperaments. In the end, there's a kissy, comforting reunion between baby fish and its mother. Cousins isn't trying anything new here, but her proven formula of basic, enthusiastic text and bright artwork will please her fans, who will likely shout, "Hooray for fish!" right along with the text. Pair this with Saxton Freyman's One Lonely Seahorse (2000) for another high-spirited, beginning concept book set under the sea. Gillian Engberg

I love this book! This was the first book I bought my son when he was born and he absolutely loved it. As he got older he had me read this book at least once a day, well as you can guess I had the book memorized. The pictures are very bright which catches any little ones eye!

Hooray for Fish! channels exotic and imaginary sea creatures into a counting lesson. A few of our favourites include ele-fish, sky fish and twin-fin-fin fish but every one is creative, colourful and fun. Definitely provides some fish food for thought ;)

Colorful, Conceptual, Counting, Friendly, Funny Fish Rhymes and Illustrations
Nov 24 2008
Format:Hardcover
My children always loved to look at colorful tropical fish in aquariums. They could spend hours spell-bound by the glittering glamour of these exotic creatures.
Hooray for Fish! takes that fascination and effectively channels it into teaching concepts and counting in friendly, funny rhymes. You'll have as much fun as your youngsters with this happy book.
Here are a few of my favorite fish: Little Fish (the colorful narrator), yellow fish, gripy fish, ele-fish, eye fish, sky fish, thin fish, twin fin-fin fish, and twisty twirly.
At the end of the story, Little Fish picks a favorite fish. Will it be yours, too?
The illustrations are bright, happy, interesting, colorful, and fun to contemplate. There's much food for thought. It's almost like a fish school!
Take your children to see some real fish after enjoying this book. They'll be ready to learn names and details.
Enjoy!
