A Fish Wish
Fay Robinson, illustrated by Wayne Anderson

Elizabeth loves fish, but her parents won’t let her own any. There’s nothing they can do though, when fish start squeezing out of the taps. Luckily, the plumber from the aquarium has an unusual solution.

"Anderson's marvellous watercolour illustrations are mute in colour but resonant with detail, nuance and atmosphere." Fanfare

"Wayne Anderson, well-known for his fearsome dragons and goblins, is in amiable mood here, with great colours and witty details. Elizabeth likes pet fish. She wishes she had more . Then every time she turns on a tap, a fish slithers out. Her parents are forced to notice when the Beluga whale arrives. As a nice change from teddies, fish are given their due in this stylish picture book." Carousel, Autumn 2005.

"On the quirkier end of the spectrum but none the less thought-provoking and lovely for it." Angels & Urchins, Spring 2005
