review 1: An amazing story book that was read to a reception class. They absolutely loved the suspense about whether Barry was going to save Puffy. Puffy seemed to dislike Barry because everyone wanted to know about him. Children wanted to touch his golden, shiny fingers, it lead to children led discussions about friendship and how important it is to help others, linked to PSED and Communication and Language in the EYFS. The book can be used for Maths (counting the fish/fingers), The children came up with amazing WOW words after we read the book together, boosting confidence and increasing their vocabulary! Ideal for children to browse through after reading it to the class.
review 2: Summary: Barry is a fish with wonderful orange fingers. He helps the other fish who are
... morebored by entertaining him with all the fun things he can do with his fingers. Most importantly, he saves their lives by pointing at a large box that is falling to the ocean floor, almost crushing them. At the end, the box ends up containg fish fingers for all his friends (fish sticks!). Now all the fish are happy and entertained by having fish fingers. Funny book that I'd like to try at story time. Story Time theme: Fish, Ocean less

I discovered this series on a trip to the bookstore with my niece. She adores these books.

Adorable and twisted. And depicts what a bunch of fish doing "jazz hands" would look like.

Fun book, but found the origin of the fish fingers to be a tad disturbing.
