This is my favorite retelling of the story "The Fisherman and His Wife" from Grimm'sTales.
The artwork is simple but effective, and the rhyming repetition of the fisherman's requests give a wave-like rocking motion to the recitation. ( )

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.
