Every child knows that in the depths of the sea and in the smooth flowing rivers there live millions of fish of all kinds. In these pages he will see a few of these creatures singly, and in groups, in all their colourful variety.

Each has its own character, endearing like the Sea Horse, or alarming, like the Barracuda. Through these paintings of fish, familiar and unfamiliar, the artist helps children to become aware of the beauty of the world around them and to realise something of the wonder that lives unseen by human eye below the surface of the sea.
