Little Fish has lost his mother! Where, where, where can she be? As he searches high and low around the African watering hole, Little Fish spies many other strange animals with their mothers: Okapi, sipping water, sluppa-sup; Hippo, bathing baby, splish-a-splash; Cheetah, cleaning her cub scrub-a-scrub. But where is his mother? Will he ever find her?
Young readers with quick eyes may spot his mother hidden here and there in the colorful collage illustrations of Jane Conteh-Morgan, and they will delight in the rhythmic repetitions of Nancy Van Laan’s text. This is sure to become a read-aloud favorite for all ages.
