Illustrations and easy-to-read text follow Pat, a fish, as he is caught by a shark, rescued by his friend Mike the elephant, and called on to return the favor.
Photographs and easy-to-follow text introduce children to different types of fish, describing their distribution, habitat, behavior, physical characteristics, hunting habits, and other related topics.
