Critic Reviews
“"The green-blue-purple illustrations have a luminous, underwater feel, and the fishwith colorful, sparkling scales, puffy lips, and big, expressive eyeslook quite sympathetic. This simple book, short and sweet, will be a hit with preschool students of ethics as well as fans of the first glittering book."”
"...pretty pictures--pastel watercolors peppered with holographic foil-stamp overlays that glimmer and gleam..."-- "Publishers Weekly"
