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. Fish. 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.
