I thought this story about the fish meeting his a new friend was very sweet and charming。 It broke my heart when the fish thought he'd never see his friend again， but that's how friendship feels sometimes as we grow up。 It was so cute to see the fish reunited with his friend。 I loved this book and thankfully my 3-year-old liked it too。 I thought this story about the fish meeting his a new friend was very sweet and charming。 It broke my heart when the fish thought he'd never see his friend again， but that's how friendship feels sometimes as we grow up。 It was so cute to see the fish reunited with his friend。 I loved this book and thankfully my 3-year-old liked it too。 。。。more

Bored Fish swims to the ocean’s surface and meets Sun。 When Sun sets after a day of playing hide-and-seek， Fish sadly swims back home。 On the following day， Fish returns to the surface， Sun rises， and the two friends make plans to play all day every day。 A simple text （in speech balloons） and colorful sequential artwork make this early reader a good introduction to stories in graphic novel format。 （PreK-Gr 2）

3。5- Great concept- create easy reader graphic novels/comics to teach kids how to read them so they know what to do on bigger books。 That explanation page was actually my favorite part of the book。 The story itself was okay。 Good illustrations。 Although， did anyone else notice the entire story is told in one panel spreads？ No tiers。 All that teaching and they keep the kiddos reading one panel at a time。 Readers do get to practice reading dialogue （who goes first etc）。 But I suppose this is a Lev 3。5- Great concept- create easy reader graphic novels/comics to teach kids how to read them so they know what to do on bigger books。 That explanation page was actually my favorite part of the book。 The story itself was okay。 Good illustrations。 Although， did anyone else notice the entire story is told in one panel spreads？ No tiers。 All that teaching and they keep the kiddos reading one panel at a time。 Readers do get to practice reading dialogue （who goes first etc）。 But I suppose this is a Level One book。 Maybe multiple panels on a page appear at Level Two。 。。。more

The story line is simple。 Fish is bored， he swims to the surface and meets Sun。 They play and fish is saddened that sun has to go away。 Fish sees him again the next day。

Holly Letson ，

A cute little story about friendship。

Simple， comic structure

Melki ，

Fish is delighted when he discovers a friend to play with， but dismayed to find his new pal goes away at twilight。 Ruzzier's art is always a treat - simple， yet effective at causing smiles。 Fish is delighted when he discovers a friend to play with， but dismayed to find his new pal goes away at twilight。 Ruzzier's art is always a treat - simple， yet effective at causing smiles。 。。。more

A lonely fish makes friends with the sun， is sad when the sun goes away， and is delighted to see it when it returns the next day。 That's about it for plot in this sweet story for preschoolers， but the watercolor artwork makes it extra special。 A lonely fish makes friends with the sun， is sad when the sun goes away， and is delighted to see it when it returns the next day。 That's about it for plot in this sweet story for preschoolers， but the watercolor artwork makes it extra special。 。。。more

The "cartooning basics" at the beginning of this book are a great teaching tool for young readers unfamiliar with the format of graphic novels。 This felt more like a picture book， though - which is the category it was placed in for Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2021。 The "cartooning basics" at the beginning of this book are a great teaching tool for young readers unfamiliar with the format of graphic novels。 This felt more like a picture book， though - which is the category it was placed in for Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2021。 。。。more

Adorable comic for beginner reader。

Elaine Fultz， Teacher Librarian， MLS ，

An early reader book featuring a fish who meets the sun， but then thinks they’ll never see the sun again when it goes down。 But it comes back。 Yay。 Friends。

Ann Haefele ，

This is a level 1 “I can read book”。 Good one for those beginning to read with large font， speech bubbles， few words， and humor。 Child does need to know the concept of a setting and rising sun to enjoy the story。

Very simple and easy to read， with an interesting look at understanding how the sun rises and sets each day。 Something that would keep kids reading， but no necessarily one they'd love， cherish or remember long term。Checked out at library and reviewed in consideration for Cybils Award Easy Reader shortlist for 2021。 Very simple and easy to read， with an interesting look at understanding how the sun rises and sets each day。 Something that would keep kids reading， but no necessarily one they'd love， cherish or remember long term。Checked out at library and reviewed in consideration for Cybils Award Easy Reader shortlist for 2021。 。。。more

Two unlikely characters become friends in this sweet reader。 I love Ruzzier's illustrations。I picked up this along with some other books from the library because my grandkids were coming for the weekend。 I've increased my rating because the almost three year old had me reading it and the other fish book a number of times。 Her five year old sister could read it by herself。 Two unlikely characters become friends in this sweet reader。 I love Ruzzier's illustrations。I picked up this along with some other books from the library because my grandkids were coming for the weekend。 I've increased my rating because the almost three year old had me reading it and the other fish book a number of times。 Her five year old sister could read it by herself。 。。。more

Cute， my daughter loves that she can “read” fish and sun。 It reminds me of Teletubbies for some reason and is soothing is a similar way。

Ashley ，

Comic-style easy reader。 Text is sparse but includes difficult learner words "friend" and "light。" Vocabulary pushes it to level 3 for me but otherwise would be a 2。 Comic-style easy reader。 Text is sparse but includes difficult learner words "friend" and "light。" Vocabulary pushes it to level 3 for me but otherwise would be a 2。 。。。more

Reading for the Mock Caldecott Awards for January 2022。 Cute picture book designed to be read like an early reader graphic novel。 A young fish makes friends with the sun and enjoys the day but is sad when the sun disappears in the evening。 Much to his delight， the sun is back the next morning and the two decide to enjoy every day together。

Ruzzier's tone is always laconic， humorous while being wholly winsome。 He is the master of the unexpected and Fish and Sun does not disappoint。 I live to see a fish crying and sleeping at the bottom of the sea with its fishy head on a pillow。 Good old sun， always coming back。 Ruzzier's tone is always laconic， humorous while being wholly winsome。 He is the master of the unexpected and Fish and Sun does not disappoint。 I live to see a fish crying and sleeping at the bottom of the sea with its fishy head on a pillow。 Good old sun， always coming back。 。。。more

Aww！ The sweet， retro-styled illustrations are a joy to look at， and this simple， gentle story is a nice choice for a beginning reader。
