BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL

APPEALS TO: MANY

Ursula swims through the days with the sun on her belly and the river weeds above - until one day another fish tells her she is swimming upside down. Now her world is in chaos!  Until another animal saves her and then gives her the key to living her life her way.

As the back matter explains, there really is a catfish that swims, as we see it, upside down. BUt Ursula’s story is more about figuring out what your life should look like for you - a great message in a book that is just so much fun to read, especially as you flip the book over and back to read it.
