• W4205152517 abstract "Reviewed by: Barry, the Fish with Fingers Deborah Stevenson, Editor Hendra, Sue. Barry, the Fish with Fingers; written and illus. by Sue Hendra. Knopf, 2010. 32p. Library ed. ISBN 978-0-375-95894-6 $18.99 Trade ed. ISBN 978-0-375-85894-9 $15.99 Ad 5-8 yrs. Know what fish could really use? Fingers. Or so asserts Barry, a plump blue swimmer who claims the full complement of ten digits. Barry, quite the salesman, promises that fingers will solve every fish's problem; he's right, since the problem turns out to be boredom, and the fingers open up a world of fishy possibilities (With fingers I can … Finger-paint! Play the piano!). When Barry's spellbound audience asks where they can get themselves some fingers, Barry notes the case of finger-like fishsticks that's just sunk nearby. The joke likely worked a lot better in the book's original British incarnation than here, since fish fingers is what fishsticks are called [End Page 435] in the UK; nor does the plot make a lot of sense—it's not clear, for instance, where Barry got his own fingers (do cases just plummet regularly into the sea?). Nonetheless, the sheer absurdity of the finger-puppet-brandishing, tickling fish is hard to resist all on its own, and the text's emphasis on dialogue, and silly dialogue at that, offers plenty of opportunity for over-the-top readaloud theatrics. Stylistically, the illustrations are cheerful but somewhat bland; though the medium is credited as gouache, its flat, unvarying colors, stylization, and crisp layering suggest digital creation, with a result that's stronger graphically than narratively. The fish provide an aquarium-bright rainbow of colors, though, and wide-eyed, broadly theatrical Barry is an enjoyable star act. Read it with gusto and be prepared to retrieve bits of Mrs. Paul's best from the fish tank later. Copyright © 2010 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois" @default.
