Review

I always enjoy getting the chance to review children's books because as an after school counselor I am always looking for new books for my kids. This book is a great child's book because it teaches children that it is okay to be afraid. It tells children that when they are afraid it is okay to ask for help. This book truly teaches children the power of prayer. I really liked the little bible pictures scattered through out the book for the reader to try and find. The fish characters have a lot of personality and they are easy for young children to relate to. I do think it would have been better to also have a male fish creature in the book because all the main fish are female which might make it difficult for a male child to relate to the characters when they are all female. However overall this is a great book for any child working on dealing with their fears.
