Fishin' a Bowl by Laura Yirak


Rating: WORTHY!

This features the same girl as in the My Silly Kitty which I negatively reviewed for the unimaginative imagery. The images in this one are at least full screen on the iPad, but the odd thing is, whereas the images in the other book were too small and not amenable to enlargement, the ones int his book are full screen - and you can enlarge them further! Go figure! In this story, the strangely mature-looking little girl is almost completely absent, and when the brat's away the fish will play - unless the kitten gets 'em. In this case the cat and the goldfish make peace. I recommend this one for the generous art work, the amusing rhyme, the punning title, and the friendship motif.
