Bookroo's summary

Bird and Cat meet in a tree, but it already belongs to Mr. Fish, and he does not want to share. Once they leave, he finds that a tree all to yourself is pretty dull, and winning his friends back takes real work for a fish who isn't supposed to be on land at all. A funny picture book about friendship and sharing.

From the publisher

In this humorous and heartwarming picture book, Mr. Fish refuses to share his tree with Bird and Cat--until he learns that making friends is more rewarding than losing them. Bird and Cat meet in a tree. But someone already lives in this tree--Mr. Fish. And he does not want to share. After Bird and Cat leave, Mr. Fish discovers that it's actually pretty boring to sit in a tree all by yourself. Getting Bird and Cat back--along with Mr. Fish's old friends from the sea--is going to require some real work. And Mr. Fish is already having a tough time, because fish aren't supposed to be on land in the first place. Author-illustrator Peter Stein has created a quirky, hilarious take on the challenges and rewards of friendship--and being a fish out of water--in this unforgettable picture book that feels like a rediscovered classic.
