Recommendations for a picture book about fish?

[maamalady]

18 month old DD loves books and is currently obsessed with fish, so we thought we'd spend some of her Christmas money on a new story. We already have Barry The Fish With Fingers, but any others starring (or heavily featuring) fish would be good.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Tiddler by Julia Donaldson

[SunnySomer]

Secret Seahorse is a sort of poem but full of pictures of fish. Can't remember who wrote it but it's published by Barefoot Books and is beautiful to look at

[mawbroon]

There is also an Usborne book called Under the Sea and the Octonaut books of course

[Seeline]

The Rainbow Fish

[IHeartKingThistle]

The Fish who could Wish.

I don't much like it but DS does!

[TannhauserGate]

Hooray for Fish by Lucy Cousins (who does Maisy too). Perfect for that age.

[drspouse]

Hooray For Fish, you can get a version with a DVD as well.

Fidgety Fish, can't remember the author. I don't care for it, the ending bothers me. But there are fish.

[bikingintherain]

Tiddler as pp said. It's a huge hit in our family.

[maamalady]

Hurrah, lots of suggestions, thank you everyone :)

[JuniorMint]

Yes to Hooray for Fish, my DD loves this.

[blueshoes]

Max the Minnow is great. It has big googly eyes. I liked the story too - which is more than I can say for most children's books.

That's Not My Hat

[Theknacktoflying]

There's also Commotion in the Ocean - poetry about sea creatures

[PeaceLoveAndMincePies]

Does That's Not My Hat have fish in it!?

[maamalady]

Yeah, This Is Not My Hat is a fish book - a bit lacking in colour for such a small child though, I think. I do love it myself (and I Want My Hat Back), and DD will no doubt receive them in the next couple of years!

She is now the proud owner of Hooray For Fish and very enthusiastic about it. Fabulous pictures indeed. Thanks all for suggestions!

The Rainbow fish. Love how the fish sparkles in the book.

[PeaceLoveAndMincePies]

I have I Want My Hat Back. Apologies for the confusion. No fish therein.

Rainbow fish!

Tip tap went the crab by Tim Hopgood - can't remember how many fish, but follows a crab from the beach to the deep sea, good for that age too.

[NoSquirrels]

Mister Seahorse by Eric Carle. Loads of fish, with interesting info about them, and lovely interactive pages.

[mawbroon]

There's another Julia Donaldson one about a hermit crab, the name of which escapes me right now..

[BatMobile]

Tip Tap Went the Crab is good. Admittedly quite crab-focused, but lots of fish too. And numbers / counting.

[Marzipants]

Another vote for Hooray for Fish. It's mercifully short too.

[everythingispeachy]

I came in to say hooray for fish and tiddler too but there's also a far few fish in the Snail and the Whale also by Julia Donaldson
