One Smart Fish

Long ago in the deep ocean, there lived . . . one smart fish! He wasn't the biggest and he wasn't the boldest, but he was the cleverest. What this smart fish wanted more than anything else was to walk upon the land.

But everyone knows that fish can't walk . . . can they?

Is it possible to explain evolution to a four-year-old and make it funny? Chris Wormell has inexplicably managed with One Smart Fish, the story of a fish determine to walk on the land who invents some fish boots

—— Rachel Carlyle , Sunday Express

A wonderful book and an endearing story for any child or adult to read, particularly those who may think that books or them or they do not like reading. This would be an ideal story to use as a vehicle through which to engage and entice young children into reading

—— Early Years Educator

A story with a valuable message

—— Oxford Times

The illustrations are nicely unusual and felt accessible. Overall, the book is nicely presented. It's great to find a book that my children like which doesn't involve super-hero's or television/film characters!

This book has become a firm favourite in our house and has sparked off a few drawing sessions. Well worth acquiring, if you have a toddler. It scores very highly in our house!

A book that is literally about how great books are

—— Scottish Sunday Herald

A quirky and unusual story brought to the young reader as two unlikely friends find themselves in a unique situation that allows them to grow together. It’s unusual, it has some great illustrations and demonstrates that whilst people may be different, similarities can allow everyone to become friends. Add to this some bright colours, great use of prose which when backed with the authors unique storytelling style really brings this title together on so many levels.

A truly wonderful read and one that I really can’t wait to share with my nephews.
