The Library Fish is a funny read, good for a read aloud on the carpet with students. This book is a story about a fish that can read. I would recommend this book to K-2nd grade. This book can allow students to analyze illustrations and practice reading skills. ( )

This book tells the story of a library fish that learns to read by watching children being read to. It's a very cute book with excellent drawings that grab the attention of the reader. I would recommend that this book be used in either a kindergarten or 1st grade classroom as it has aspects in it that can teach readers how to spell certain words or learn the alphabet. ( )

First sentence: Library Fish loved her home on the desk of Mr. Hughes, the librarian. It was the perfect place to welcome every visitor to the library. From where she sat, Library Fish could check each book that was borrowed and returned.

Premise/plot: Library Fish, the library pet of Mr. Hughes, learns to read in this second picture book adventure. Library Fish commits fully to this learning-to-read process. And it starts with learning the alphabet and the sound each letter makes. Who will Library Fish read to??? Readers of the first book may just guess!

My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. It was just as cute and silly--imaginative--as the first. I continued to enjoy all the illustrations. The library scenes are just as charming as ever. I will say that this one is VERY text heavy. ( )
