The Story of Fish & Snail

32 pp. | Viking | June, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-670-78489-9 $16.99
(3) K-3 With some of the metafictive elements Freedman used in Blue Chicken, this is the simple story of an adventurous goldfish and a sedate snail who live in a book. After a petty disagreement over their play activity, the two friends separate--Fish swims to a new book and Snail, bereft, is left behind. Playful, clever perspective changes reveal the evolving setting.
Reviewer: Robin L. Smith
