A favorite tale. 00006237 The magic fish by Freya Littledale Children's story about a fisherman who catches a fish and he puts the talking fish back in the water because he told him he was a prince. Wife tells him he should've asked for a pretty house for her... Rhyming and silly. After a week she wishes for a castle...she is never happy and always asks for more.... Fish keeps asking why she wants these things... I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). Magic Fish is a good book for Kindergarteners or 1st graders. It's a traditional/folktale/fairytale about a woman who orders her husband to go fish. He catches a magic fish and the wife begins to demand wishes and becomes greedy. Bright illustrations help with the simplicity of words in the book. no reviews | add a review

The artwork is simple but effective, and the rhyming repetition of the fisherman's requests give a wave-like rocking motion to the recitation. (
