This book is brilliant.
I don't need to say anything about this book because it has all been said before, but should you need it, you can read what the Caldecott Committee said here.
Spoiler alert: there are plenty of students that believe the big fish ate the little fish and that the little fish was quite deserving of this, but in each class there are a solid number of students whose imaginations let this story take another turn. Have a listen to just a few of them.
Today, I am thankful for books, like this one, that make teaching and learning (or just plain reading!) fun.
