Goodreads

A simple early reader from the I Can Read series told in a comic-style with one full image per double-page spread. Little Fish is bored and cold. When he wanders to the surface, he meets Sun, who is bright and warm. The two play until, predictably for the reader, though not Fish, Sun sets. Luckily, Fish finds Sun again the next day and the two agree to play everyday. Ruzzier’s soft, warm watercolor illustrations pair with simple text to make this a sweet and enjoyable book. The book includes a note to parents before the text begins explaining how to read comics and their leveling parameters.
