How to Read the Little Fish Books

The twelve titles are shown in publication order, but there is no continuing storyline. Hooray for Fish! gives the fullest introduction; after that, choose by concept or format, including counting, colors, shapes, opposites, bedtime, flaps, and a waterproof bath book.

For parents

What Parents Should Know

These are short, upbeat books for very young listeners. Repetition, rhyme, and high-contrast art support pointing, naming, counting, and joining in rather than following a complex plot.

Formats vary more than the stories do: some are shaped or lift-the-flap board books, and Swim with Little Fish! is waterproof. There is no meaningful danger or frightening content.
