In the Bravest Fish, Matt Buckingham tells the tale of a goldfish who misses the school boat to travel to cooler waters for the summer. Throughout the book we see Stanley the goldfish experience different trials all the way from a threatening shark to a lobster guarding treasure. Buckingham does a great job of focusing the colors of the illustration on and setting the mood of the story throughout the entire book.
