The Library Fish. Alyssa Satin Capucilli. Illustrated by Gladys Jose. 2022. [March] 32 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: Once there was a fish. She was not an ordinary fish. She didn't live in the sea or the ocean. She didn't live in a river or lake. In fact, when Mr. Hughes the librarian found her, he said, "I'm not quite sure where you came from, but, if you love stories, you've come to the right place. Some libraries have their lions, but this library will have you, Fish."
Premise/plot: Library Fish is adopted by the librarian, Mr. Hughes. Library Fish soon becomes a vital part of all the library doings. But what will happen on a SNOW DAY when the library is closed and oh-so-silent? What kind of adventures or misadventures will Library Fish have on her own?
My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. I loved all the library scenes. It was cute. Did I love the idea of fish jumping out of her bowl and exploring the library? Maybe not so much. (I have scars.) But if I look at it purely in a creative/imaginative way, it is a silly, fun story.
