Wish for a Fish: Cat in the Hat's Learning Library - Book

In rhyming text, the Cat in the Hat introduces Sally and Dick to the various inhabitants of the ocean, including herring, mackerel, jellyfish, sharks, manatees, and whales.

Wish for a Fish, by Bonnie Worth with illustrations by Aristides Ruiz, is part of The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library. The series pairs Dr. Seuss-style rhymes and characters with real-world nonfiction. Here the Cat takes young readers under the sea to learn how fish breathe underwater, what lives at different levels of the ocean, and how echolocation helps dolphins find their way in the dark.

The 48-page hardcover from Random House Books for Young Readers (1999) includes an index, a glossary and suggestions for further learning. It is recommended for ages 5 to 9.
