Swim! Swim! by Lerch



2010/32 pgs

About the Book: Lerch is a goldfish is who is lonely. He swims throughout his tank trying to find a friend, but is unsuccessful. The bubbles and the gravel don't talk to him and the cat thinks he's lucnh! But a friend is on its way for Lerch!

Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: Swim! Swim! is a funny picture book that made me smile. I would recomend it to readers (and librarians) who weren't big fans of The Pout Pout Fish as it's the same sort of idea, but I think this one has more humor. Kids will get a kick out of Lerch's quest for a friend. The text is large and the illustrations are colorful and look a bit like a comic. This could be a cute storytime book and the reader could encourage interaction with kids by asking if the various objects will be friends to Lerch. A fun picture book!
