AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Cat and Fish come from different worlds - he from the land, she from the sea. But when they meet in the park one night, they like each other's looks. Cat shows Fish his world and teaches her how to climb, how to take shelter from the rain, and how to stay warm. But Fish misses the sea, so Cat takes her back and meets her friends and discovers the water world. Then the trouble starts.

'In this new book, the unlikely pals — he's from the land, she's from the sea — are curious about where the waves go. So they sail away through storm and wind to a beautiful tropical island. Along the way they meet many friendly creatures from both their worlds. This sequel to the award-winning Cat and Fishfeatures Neil Curtis’s superb black-and-white draftsmanship and illustrations, including a wonderful fold-out of "twelve wise owls." Spiraling and curving text is a visual treat, drawing children in, and Joan Clark’s lively story delivers an encouraging message about the joys of friendship and being oneself.'  (Publication summary)
