(3) K-3 Following an underwater cat-and-mouse game, a bespectacled little fish ends up in an octopus's hungry mouth--only to enjoy the last laugh when he reveals himself as a blowfish (ouch!). This rewarding, sparsely worded tale is told largely through its main characters' expressive features, including creatively inescapable octopus arms. The illustrations' swirly backgrounds and wide-eyed faces balance the predator-vs.-prey drama.
