Cat and Fish Go to See

In this new book, the unlikely pals — he's from the land, she's from the sea — are curious about where the waves go. So they sail away through storm and wind to a beautiful tropical island. Along the way they meet many friendly creatures from both their worlds. This sequel to the award-winning Cat and Fish features Neil Curtis's superb black-and-white draftsmanship and illustrations, including a wonderful fold-out of "twelve wise owls." Spiraling and curving text is a visual treat, drawing children in, and Joan Clark's lively story delivers an encouraging message about the joys of friendship and being oneself.
