This book would be good for primary students. This book is "The Fish and the Cat" by Marianne Dubuc and published in 2019. This book is a wordless book and it goes through the adventure of this cat trying to cat a fish from a bowl. The fish ends up fying through the air and landing in a body of water. This book is a funny, light-hearted book that would be fun to read to young readers. This book would also be good to read when teaching about predicting and inferring and asking questions about what they think will happen next in the book since there are no words to tell you.

Just plain weird. None of my colleagues knew what to make of this book. I mean the fish becomes a bird?! Yeah no. ( )

reallly LONG wordless book, full of visual interest ( )

A cat pursues a fish throughout this wordless picture-book from French-Canadian author/illustrator Marianne Dubuc, first attempting to get at it in its bowl, then pursuing it through the air, into space, through a cave, and finally to the edge of the sea. Here, however, the cat can go no further, and the fish escapes into the sunset...

Originally published in Canada as La Mer, and first presented in English as The Sea by the Italian publisher Officina Libraria, The Fish and the Cat was the very first book that Dubuc produced. As someone who admires her work, particularly such titles as The Lion and the Bird and the Mr. Postmouse books, I am happy to have a chance to "read" it. The illustrations work very well in carrying the story, which is quite long - 90 pages! - for a picture-book. I understand that a number of online reviewers had a problem with the cat's nose, for various (suggestive) reasons, but I myself wasn't bothered by the style of depiction. Recommended to Dubuc fans, and to anyone looking for fun wordless picture-book adventures. ( )
