About the Book
One day, bored little Fish journeys up to the surface of the ocean where it meets Sun and a wonderful friendship blooms, only right in the middle of their fun, Sun starts to set!Book Synopsis
Introducing I Can Read Comics, a new early reader line that familiarizes children with the world of graphic novel storytelling and encourages visual literacy in emerging readers.
One day, a bored little fish journeys up to the surface of the ocean, where it meets the sun. A wonderful friendship blooms... Only, right in the middle of their fun, the sun starts to set! Fish and Sun is a powerful story about newfound friendship by Sergio Ruzzier.
"Painted seascapes in rich colors warm the early reader comic's minimal text, and small details--Fish sleeps underwater with a small pillow--will draw laughter." (Publishers Weekly)
Fish and Sun is a Level One I Can Read Comic, a simple story for shared reading.

Review Quotes
The understated plot allows new readers to focus on the well-chosen words and meaningful emotional arc, and Ruzzier's slightly bonkers visual world-building keeps things fresh. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A captivating new duo. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Fish and Sun are two delightful characters who will touch readers' hearts. The perfect story for emergent readers and developing visual learners. -- School Library Journal (starred review)
Uncluttered watercolor illustrations, in Ruzzier's always imaginative, slightly off-kilter style, reinforce the playful action; the natural language and phonetic patterns will serve readers well; and the emotional drama is just right. -- Horn Book (starred review)

This selection of books was perfect for a beginner reader! He had no problem sounding out the words and working his way through these. Could really see his confidence increase every time he finished a story independently. The bad seed was his favorite!

Hi - my son Irving has been enjoying the books a lot. One thing I noticed is that he leans more towards level 2 books. Perhaps he's ready to transition into level 2 fully. Thank you.
