In this humorous and heartwarming picture book, Mr.
Fish refuses to share his tree with Bird and Cat--until he learns that making friends is more rewarding than losing them.
Bird and Cat meet in a tree.
But someone already lives in this tree--Mr.
And he does not want to share.
After Bird and Cat leave, Mr.
Fish discovers that it's actually pretty boring to sit in a tree all by yourself.
Getting Bird and Cat back--along with Mr.
Fish's old friends from the sea--is going to require some real work.
And Mr.
Fish is already having a tough time, because fish aren't supposed to be on land in the first place.
Author-illustrator Peter Stein has created a quirky, hilarious take on the challenges and rewards of friendship--and being a fish out of water--in this unforgettable picture book that feels like a rediscovered classic.
