This was my son's favorite book before he was able to read. He would always ask for this book at bedtime. My husband would make up new stories for Fish Head everytime he would read it!

An excellent first reader, with a lovely story about a poor cat who finds a home in an unlikely place. Filled with big and little words to develop a young readers vocabulary.

The fabulous tale of a cat who goes to sea and learns to live off the fat of the ocean.

This book about a feral cat becoming somewhat domestic when he ends up on a boat that goes out to sea is one of the most perfect children's books in existence.

a not un-charming cat on a boat story. Fish Head isn't the most appealing cat, but he grew on me in this short story.
