Fish Do Not Have Feet - (I Can Read Comics Level 1) by T J Miller (Hardcover)

Review Quotes

A certain pleaser where furry fictions are well-loved. - Kirkus Reviews
"The clever structure, a story told entirely through two-word phrases composed of adjectives and then the nouns "kitty" and "city," makes for a hypnotic, satisfying read-aloud experience, though the order changes after the first two pages, the only time the kitty precedes the city. A cozy story for cat lovers and anyone looking for a happy ending." - Kirkus Reviews
"Izzy's happiness at creating something of his own and the simple but lively text make for a delightful and engaging read-aloud. A charming stroll through the imagination and a testament to the joys of creativity." - Kirkus Reviews
"Rhythmic, declarative sentences and stripped-down characterizations and settings let the creative process and its rewards shine--and, via the artist's spattering, splattering hues, bring new meaning to the term 'flying colors.'" - Publishers Weekly
"Miller's humor--which depends upon the woefully inept friends' ingenuous approach to their endeavor--will have readers eager for Moo Moo's next great idea." - Publishers Weekly
"A terrific picture book debut, moving the wonderfully narcissistic dialogue along quickly as these two huge--and hugely mistaken--egos battle it out." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A funny, lighthearted option for fans of Tom Angleberger. - School Library Journal (starred review)
"A wonderful read! You'll never look at horses or dogs the same way again!" - Jon Stewart
"Horse Meets Dog is a sweet, wise, and genuinely ha-ha funny exploration of not just horse/dog relations (historically strained), but also of friendship and difference." - John Hodgman
"Horse meets Dog! Kalan meets Miller! Two great teams - one SO-DARN-FUNNY book! Go get it!" - Laurie Keller
"Miller (Horse Meets Dog) chronicles his protagonist's travels with compositions that range from bird's-eye views to dramatic low angles, while the abbreviated text may remind readers of their own pets' epithets: 'Noisy city./ Hiding kitty'; 'Wildlife city./ Playful kitty.'" - Publishers Weekly
"The uncomplicated cartoon-style illustrations and minimal text--just the duo's dialogue placed neatly in bubbles--make the humor accessible to a wide range." - Booklist
"The illustrated cartoonlike spreads, done in acrylic gouache, enable children to follow the journey of the orange-and-white cat as she navigates the busy metropolis and finds kindness and love." - Booklist
"The hilarious speech bubble asides pair perfectly with the bold illustrations to create a winning format for this tale of pluck. A sublimely silly read-aloud for storytime and small group sharing." - School Library Journal
"This imaginative and creative book...will appeal to all children, as adventure, beginning reader, or even as an inviting cityscape to pore over." - School Library Journal
