review 1: I really like the illustrations, but what makes this book stand out is the narrator's voice. Doreen, a silly fish who doesn't see the danger in a hook or a heron, cheerfully exclaims, "Goody! A treat!" But the narrator is there to set the reader straight: "Oh, poor Doreen. No. It's a HOOK." "Yippee! I'm going on an outing!" cries Doreen. "Oh dear, Doreen. No. You're not," says the narrator. This could be a truly great little Weston Woods video with the right narrator.
review 2: Miss Doreen Randolph-Potts, an Ample Roundy Fish, sets out to visit her second cousin twice removed (who's just had 157 babies), but her quiet journey quickly becomes a almost-unbelievable whopper of a tale! The always optimistic Doreen chances upon a delectable dragonfly (never mind the... more hook attached), catches a ride with a helpful egret (well, great blue heron luckily misidentified), and never once seems fazed by the precarious situations she swims into. While the title of this book may be POOR DOREEN, there's no reason to mourn for the always positive and glass half-full Doreen! less
