Catching Fish

Author(s): Tanya Batt

NZ Picture Books

When Jake loses the five red fish off his favourite shirt, he finds them in the sky, ducking and diving in and out of the clouds.  Jake can't catch his fish with a crooked copper nail, or tempt them down with food, or grab them in his hands.  Then Jake learns the magical power of words.  This simple but powerful tale by master storyteller Tanya Batt is a delight for both children and adults alike.
