Do You Speak Fish? cover

A simple yet heartwarming story that demonstrates how to overcome communication barriers and better understand those who identify with different cultures
When a child meets a fish and says hello, the fish does not respond. The child is shocked. What a rude fish! But soon the child learns that it's not up to the fish to speak the child's language. And if the child wants to communicate, he'll have to take the time to learn how to speak Fish.

"A gregarious little boy is annoyed that the animals and insects he greets won't speak to him in return. The absurdity of the premise guarantees laughs from readers. They will enjoy watching the boy practice speaking with the animals in their languages, especially the lion, who can't stop laughing... The slick cartoon illustrations are vivid and eye-catching, the pacing of the page turns timed well for humor. A funny read-aloud with a great message." - Kirkus Reviews
