review 1: Review of A Fish Named Glub by Dan Bar-elPublication Date: April 1, 2014Publisher: Kids Can PressAge Group: 3-5Format: eGalleyGlub is a fish that has a lot of questions and he is a precocious one. As any child can tell you, questions are the key to learning about the large world around you. While living in a diner, Glub begins to question a lot about the large world around him. Although I felt this book would be better suited for older children, I wouldn’t necessarily rule it out as one to read during a family storytime. The illustrations were wonderful. All in all, I gave it three out of five stars.
review 2: First of all, the illustrations! Wow! These mixed media collages of cartoonish people and one very expressive fish named Glub surely took hours to cre
... moreate. I was impressed by the storyline and the sophisticated messages behind the beautiful prose as well. Everyone in the story is missing something from their lives, even the fish named Glub, who had been abandoned by his owner and ends up living in a diner with a young man named Foster. Ultimately, this is a story about making your dreams come true. Glub and Foster both end up exactly where they belong, with the help of a little magic. less

I did not enjoy this book at all, and I wonder if any child would either. It makes no sense to me.

Has a distinctly melancholy feel. Mixed media artwork. Lengthy text aiming for poetic. PreK-2.

Quirky, slow, more for adults than kids. Ages 6-8.

Existential fish tale. He swims therefore he is.
