    Great book, bad printing
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2017*

This is a review for the printing/binding, not the book.  I love the book and its illustrations so I bought it as a gift and was very disappointed to find that the newest printing (by Puffin Books 1998) is nowhere near the quality of the previous printing (Harry N. Abrahms 1992).  The front cover is blurry and off-center and all the pages have cut-off illustrations.  I'm sad because this was going to be a very nice gift and instead I'm going to return it.  On the photos I've submitted, the old copy is on the left, the new on the right.

    Poor quality reprint
  

*by R***W on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018*

I bought this book as a gift to new parents because this was a book I grew up with and enjoyed. Thinking to share the nostalgia, I ordered this one and hoped it would be quality since it is sold and shipped by Amazon. This new book is worse than my own copy. The front cover is darker and blurred compared to mine, but worse, they changed the "Grouper" character to "Groper". While a fish called a Groper does exist, (I looked it up) this seems like a totally inappropriate and unnecessary change. Especially for a children's book.I took some pictures, for comparative purposes, my original copy is on the left, and the one I bought from Amazon is on the right. Note the pink fish is darker and the whole thing is slightly blurry. In the second photo the binding is shoddy compared to mine on the left. In the third photo, note the fish on the back cover is dark and blurry. In the last photo, note that my book, again on the left has the character as a "Grouper" and the on the right it is changed to "groper", also the seahorse face is cut off compared to my original.I checked other websites to see if this was a fluke or bad publishing. As it turns out, based on the photos on the other websites, this is bad publishing. It is a shame that such a beautiful book received such poor QA.

    Extremely Original and Beautifully Illustrated
  

*by B***C on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2017*

This book was not what I expected. However, that being said, it is extremely original and beautifully illustrated. The book is written in poetry in the form of a drama. It may be too difficult for toddlers, etc. to follow if you are wanting a story to read aloud, but it is a great book for slightly older kids. I would think elementary teachers could easily use this in the classroom as a read aloud. Drama and poetry could be studied at the same time!
