PreS-Gr 1—This charming production offers listeners lessons in counting and opposites through text and song, reinforced with a fishing game. The concept is simple and the art bold and exciting. Both "Auto Play" and "Read to Me" options are available from the title screen as are activities and "Song Time."Elliot Kreloff's colorful illustrations feature childlike art depicting fish of all shapes and sizes against a vibrant blue background. Watery gurgles, burbles, and splashes accompany the upbeat musical track. Counting opportunities abound, and voiced encouragements are heard throughout the game, which involves catching different numbers of fish each time it is played. The game, which adds another level to this skill- and concept-building production, will be thoroughly enjoyed by children.—Daryl Grabarek, School Library Journal
