Illustrated by
Mike Austin.
Pet-fish owners will be amused by the small drama in Rylant's funny tale about five effervescent fish who think life in their tank is "FAB!" As often happens in picture books, the previously unadmired cast member (a snail) saves the day when the tank's new castle proves hazardous. Austin's digital illustrations in attention-grabbing tropical colors make this small underwater world look, indeed, fab.
