Perfect Picture Book Friday
What Fish Are Saying: Strange Sounds in the Ocean (Sourcebooks, 2025) by Kirsten Pendreigh and illustrated by Katie Melrose shows how “It’s NOISY down below” in an amusing way.
Written in rhyme, this picture book shares the sounds from fish and shellfish, and how they are made, including farts! Some of my favorite sounds explored are: cluck, whoop, boop, and bark. Makes me want to be able to listen in.
Isn’t it great that nonfiction can be fun? And the illustrations are lovely.
