Little Fish tells the story of a baby fish searching for his mother. On the way, he encounters various underwater animals, each of a different colour. Little Fish meets everything from a red crab to a blue whale. In a style reminiscent of Eric Carle, these bold, collage-style images are highly attractive for younger readers. The use of two-dimensional colour planes ensures high contrasts between the images and the black background.

The final double page spread shows the colours of the animals that Little Fish has met on his journey. The text is simple and repetitive, which is good for smaller children. Little Fish is a lovely way to teach your toddler about colours. VRe
