This is a look at all the different sounds fish make in the ocean. It was really interesting and the illustrations are really great too. Kids will have a fun time looking at all the different fish and learning what sounds they make.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

This ocean book was not only beyond adorable, but toddler approved. Engaging and educational. It's the perfect combination of fun, silly, and interactive. The artwork is also absolutely stunning. Having the soundwaves intertwined within the background really made the story of the fish talking and making different noises come to life. In the sea of books we have read together (pun intended) I can tell this one will be read over and over. You can tell their was a lot of thought put into every page of this book. From the desire to be as accurate in the information, down to even the page lay out. Wow, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more books by this author and illustrator.

Thank you to Sourcebooks and NetGalley for the eGalley to review!

What Fish Are Saying is a fun and simple, yet truly educational rhyming picture book that is sure to be a hit with story time! All the onomatopoeia and colorful illustrations will certainly engage even older readers as they learn what types of fish make what noises. Each page is jam-packed with tons of different species and we're treated to scientific information on how these fish make their noises and why.

The best part of the book (besides the beautiful illustrations)? There's more information in the back of the book that teachers especially can make use of for classroom use! There are more fish noise facts for select species, a blurb on what a hydrophone is, a diagram on fish biology that shows how they're able to make and hear these noises, and where to find even more information--including recordings of the very sounds that are mentioned in the book!

If you have a marine biology unit in your classroom for young kids, want a great book for an educational story time, or just want to impress someone, this is an ideal book for you!

This being a non-fiction book about the sounds found underwater is what struck my interest. I sat down with my 6 year old and we read through this adorable book that shares how the ocean isn't as quiet down below as we may think. With colorful pictures identifying fish and the sounds they make, my child couldn't help but read along with me. She'd read all the fish sounds as I read the story. The information at the end was pretty cool too. It described each fish's sound, that the book covers, and why and/or how they make the sound. My child was so delighted that they asked my to read it again, immediately. So, so cute!

This review is based on an ARC. Thank you for the opportunity to review.

What a fun book. Who knew fish said anything. My son and I knew about the loud shrimp but we did not know other fish made other sounds. We loved this story. A must read for ocean lovers alike.

Bright and color illustrations. The flow of the words match the flowing waves and just guide you right through the story. So much information is presented in such a fun way. Definitely a great book for a storytime.

Great book! It's pretty simple, but it definitely hits all of the marks. It has educational value (marine animal sounds), rhyming as a literary device, cute and colorful illustrations, etc. I will say that reading it went rather fast, but that makes sense for a book like this that is intended for little kids. One small critique that I have is the repetition. Even if it's relevant, I would stay away from repeating sounds/verbs, just to maintain the freshness of the whole book. Other than that small thing, though, I really liked this book!

There were some fantastic jokes here and so much information. The way it's presented, it's like learning through a story when you can ask questions and interact with readers. The pictures were also bright and fun. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Looking down from above the sea it is tempting tp think that all is quiet in the water below. This non-fiction children’s book explains how different fish and aquatic life sounds as heard by hydrophones placed by scientists to listen to. The illustrations are bright and engaging and the facts at the end of the story are interesting.

Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebook kids for the ARC in exchange for honest review.

This would be the most perfect book for a preschool and elementary classroom for an ocean unit! My four kids and I absolutely cherished this book! It was beautifully done. The pictures were gorgeous, and the information was wonderful.

This is a book of the sounds in the sea. It is a bit whimsical with facts in the back of the book. My children enjoyed this.

This book explains the different sounds that fish make underwater. Sounds that we can’t quite hear with our naked ears. It also explains how those noises are made, and it was fascinating. The illustrations on this book are stunning. We loved all the colors of the fish under the water. Some of the sounds, although written, are difficult to imagine, so this would be a great book to have sounds with!

What Fish Are Saying is a wonderful mix of fun and informative. I even learned a few new things. My boys love all things fish and water, so this was a big hit. The rhyming helped keep them engaged and the illustrations were so pretty. There were so many great details captured and such a wide variety of underwater sea creatures featured.

Thank you for the ARC. Wow the pictures were so vibrant but life like at the same time. My child and I both learned more about the sounds fish “say”.

The illustrations are absolutely stunning, bursting with color and detail that complement the story beautifully. The storytelling is engaging and age-appropriate, with just the right balance of excitement and heart. Thank you for the advanced copy!

“What Fish are Saying” by Kirsten Pendreigh is a delightful nonfiction book about the surprising noises that fish and other sea creatures make. This poetry book will make the perfect read aloud. The lyrical prose is fun to read. My animal-loving 3rd grader said he learned lots of new facts. This is a great book to inspire inquire-based research to dive deeper in any of these topics. This book will be an excellent addition to any elementary school library or classroom.
