Ugly Fish

Warning: If you are a parent who shelters your child, or if your child is super sensitive, you probably shouldn't read this.This book is hilarious! It is about a fish living by himself in a fish tank and he is grumpy and eats any fish dumped in there. Eventually he realizes that he is lonely and should not eat the next fish dumped into the tank. The next fish that arrives is way bigger though, and I think you can imagine what happens.Yes the book has death in it, but it teaches a good lesson and shows the reality of what fish do. My son is 6 and said the book was funny, but a little sad because he liked the main character and that character dies. He wants to read it again though and found the humor in it funny. Overall I think the book was pretty fun and the pictures in it are awesome!

Ugly fish eats each new fish introduced to his tank until the last fish comes along. Kind of twisted but funny.

Ugly Fish has a vague moral to the story, if any. "Don't bully or you may be bullied?" But it has great pictures. It's nice to watch this very ugly fish in action. Young kids have an affinity to odd looking creatures, and things getting eaten. It made such an impression, in fact, that I got tired of borrowing it from the library, and just bought it.

Very funny cartoonist illustrations. Reading this aloud will be fun but predictable. Either the children will laugh or learn a strong moral.

My favorite book ever! A real page turner- will ugly fish learn how to make friends??

This book is very funny if you like snarky humor in kids books like I Want my Hat Back, Oi Frog or A Hungry Lion: A Dwindling Assortment of Animals.

Great reality lesson for kids, with an unexpected ending. My kids love this book and ask me to read it over and over. It helps to give each of the fish their own voice. Great book!!

Grandaughter loves this book.

Love this book. Fun to read to our son.
