“Eddy the fish lives by himself in a little glass bowl. . . . Meanwhile, a pair of black, feline-shaped ears in the frame indicate that he is less alone than he realizes. This tension builds through digitally collaged watercolor illustrations and smart page design, but the text uses our protagonist’s limited, naive perspective to tell the story. . . .Mercifully this dramatic, visually appealing friendship tale takes a surprise final turn, avoiding the anticipated grim conclusion. New friends are sometimes not who we imagine them to be; they can even be better.” — Horn Book (starred review)“This clever and inspired story will hold readers’ attention and have little ones begging for rereads. A tender tale of an unusual friendship, with just a touch of mystery.” — Kirkus Reviews“A very clever example of how minimalist storytelling can be wonderfully supported and enhanced with skillful artwork. . . .This is a Hitchcockian suspense tale for preschoolers, and young readers will relish the build-up, the reveal, and the high-tension ending with its satisfying and gentle release.” — Booklist“Ha perfectly captures Eddy’s happiness, playfulness, and fear. . . . A captivating picture book that captures the feeling of loneliness and the need for friendship, ideal for toddlers and preschoolers.” — School Library Journal
