An underwater fantasy comes to life in this board book with colorful cut-paper art that will spark the imagination of young readers.
If I were a fish . . . A daydreaming child imagines himself under the sea, where turtles glide by and a cloud of jellyfish float above. The boy gets to play with sea horses, shrimp, and crabs, swim through octopus tentacles and squid ink, and goes to sleep tucked among a dazzling school of starfish. Vibrant collage illustrations depict a whimsical world of ocean life. Named to the Texas 2x2 Reading List and the Kansas State Reading Circle Recommended List.Author Biography
