Reviews

Leo Lionni's Fish Is Fish (1970) brings back the tale of a friendship between a tadpole and minnow, and the changes wrought when the now-fully-fledged frog tries to describe the wonders above ground to his finned friend. Lionni's palette, as iridescent as the scales of a minnow gleaming in the sun, is as captivating as ever. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

" If the picture book is a new visual art form in our time, Leo Lionni is certain to be judged a master of the genre." -- "The New York Times"
