The Little Red Fish

I tell myself I bought this delightful book for my 18 month old daughter but if I'm truly honest, I bought it for myself! This book is pure joy from beginning to end. The fact that the colouring of the artwork is exclusively in sepia (except for the little goldfish) really emphasises the sense of whimsy and mystery as Jeje chases his little friend. I really like the fact that toward the end, the pages are filled with artwork without the text - little ones can let their imaginations run wild with little Jeje! I cannot recommend this beautiful book highly enough - I hope to see more work from Taeen Yoo soon.

Buy this book. You won't regret it. My three year old and I love it - and we're very well read and very picky! : )

This picture book makes you believe in the magic and power of story. Yoo's brilliance abounds in this tribute to books. What child wouldn't love to get swept into a world of fantasy and imagination like the one illustrated so beautifully in "The Little Red Fish"? Reminiscent of magical stories like "The Pagemaster", and "The Never Ending Story", this book is sure to stand the test of time and become a children's classic.

This book is absolutely amazing! I went to shopping with my daughter and while wandering through our local bookstore, this red cloth cover caught our eyes. My daughter immediately took this book from the shelf and asked me to read. The story was not only great for my daughter but even delightful to read for me. The art is absolutely beautiful and very classic. My daughter(3 years old) really enjoys to follow where the red fish goes through the story. This book became her new favorite picture book!

A friend of mine recommended this book for my 2-year old daughter. I am very skeptical about children's books and I don't "buy" too many books. But I am glad I bought this book for my daughter. My daughter (usually a running and screaming wild child) sits still and enjoys the story and nice illustrations during the little red fish story time. Nice red fabric book cover is a big plus and looks nice even without the gift wrap (if you are thinking of baby shower gifts and etc).
