Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave
it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear
and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
Great Website. Really enjoyed reading.
very good book, thanks.
Very nice book for Christmas.
It was super awesome to read I really enjoyed it
It was a very enticing book with a very interesting climax and beginning but the end of the book seems to be lacking a little in ending the interesting story off.
“It is a cute little story that I think everyone would like very much. I loved the concept of Big Fish. Children can learn that even if they do something bad, they can still change and become good kids. Being good is the best way to become popular, even if they are not a big fish who can make it rain.” Jeannie Walker (Award-Winning Author)’s Review “The Writing is pure, the art work is enticing, Big Fish, even to me was one that I wanted to read.” Thomas Schuck’s Review . “Oh what a wonderful story to be able to read to my grandchildren! Ahmad Amani, author, has a wonderful imagination and what a wonderful way to introduce a story of the moon and rain.” Raine Award Winning Author . “Big Fish is a story with deeper meaning. Is this a story about countries? Or individuals? with a deeper level? Regardless, I ended up reading the book three times as pondered what the writer was trying to say, which is the sign of a good author to me. Oh, and children will enjoy the simple drawings.” Robin Landry “singer/songwriter”
I like this book because it was a baby book because i am 10 years old and that is how i know?
Very very very sad! And how does a fish jump into the moon?
Oh my God, the book is so cute with an incredible imagination. I think a little imagination could form new ideas in our children’s minds. My boy enjoyed the sweet book, and said; I’m going to go to the moon and help Big Fish, lol, really that’s perfect.
