Fabulous Fishes
Peachtree Publishing Company
"Round fish, clownfish,
fish that like to hide.
Striped fish, spiked fish,
fish that leap and glide."
Fabulous Fishes introduces young readers to both exotic and familiar fishes and the underwater world they call home. An afterword identifies each animal and tells a little about it and where it lives.
