Hooray for Fish!

“Who can resist the art of Lucy Cousins? No one, that’s who. Hooray for Fish! is a great preschool read-aloud, with its bright and fun illustrations and simple text. It was definitely too young for the K-3 crowd I was reading to, but the younger siblings loved it and I got the older kids more engaged by having them point to the different types of fish that were named.”.

“Cousins’s exuberant illustrations bring new meaning to the old saying, “plenty of fish in the sea.”. She packs her saturated, neon-hued pages with an undersea menagerie that includes a huge school of tiny minnow-esque fish and a comically preposterous “ele-fish”, complete with trunk. Just when readers think there aren’t any more fish to meet, Little Fish introduces the “one I love best, even more than all the rest”—his Mom. “Kiss, kiss, kiss,” proclaims the text as the two pucker up.».

“A wonderful choice for an early elementary fish/underwater unit. The design of this book is visually appealing for young children; big, bright, colorful pages with an effect that looks like everything has been colored in with finger paint but in a very methodical fashion, including the text.

I loved all the adjectives in Hooray for Fish!, such an easy way to introduce young children to words like thin, gripy, shy, and curly. The end was a surprise and I loved it just as much as my 4-year old but I’m a bit biased!”. From goodreads.com

“A simple concept rendered engaging with charming artwork. I liked how it goes from reasonably simple concepts (like red fish, blue fish) through to sneaking in silly fish like ele-fish and sky-fish. The big mixed drawings also make it easy to play games like ‘can you spot…’ or ‘what fish do you like best’, ‘what fish would you eat for dinner?’”. From goodreads.com

“The alliteration, rhyming and amusing language make this book equally as suitable for children younger than two.

With bright and colourful illustrations this book brings underwater imaginings to life.”. From kids-bookreview.com
