Ursula the catfish is happy in her river home with the sky below her and the weeds above, until one day, another fish tells her she is upside down. Has she been wrong this whole time?!

I love Corey Tabor, and his latest book does not disappoint! I loved the watercolor illustrations and the simple text. This story could be a good conversation starter about perspectives and individuality. Similar to Mell Fell, this book has the reader turn it upside down in the middle of the story and includes a note after the story about the real animals in the book.
