Ten Scared Fish by Ros Moriarty

Paperback

Simple, intelligent, bright, and cheerful, this early childhood concept book introduces animals and numbers and celebrates indigenous art in a joyous, non-didactic, and playful way.

Ten Scared Fish is an animal counting book with a difference. Following the river to the sea, the reader meets and counts the animals until finally, ten little fish meet a big scary shark! Bold illustrations and a delightfully playful text help readers familiarise themselves with prepositions as well as animals and numbers.
