[Following is a volunteer review of "Not Fishy Enough" by Briton Kolber.]
"Not Fishy Enough" by Briton Kolber is a delightful allegorical tale suitable for both children and adults. Edwin is the main character of the story, a lovable character who's not quite like the other underwater neighbors. Edwin has claws instead of fins, which makes him stand out in his small-tide pool community. He really wants to belong, but fitting in isn't easy when you're different. As Edwin tries to find his place, readers will join him on a journey filled with fun, laughter, and heartfelt moments. But here's the twist: who is Edwin, really? That's the mystery waiting to be solved! "Not Fishy Enough" isn't just a simple fish story; it's all about figuring out who you are and being proud of it, even when things seem a little confusing. Take the plunge and discover the true beauty of being yourself!
There are other characters like Otto, the octopus, who embody both fear and wisdom in unfamiliar situations, while Riley, a goby fish, portrays the challenges of conforming to societal norms. Each character imparts valuable lessons about acceptance and self-discovery. The book concludes with a discussion section, urging readers to delve deeper into its themes. Through candid and conversational writing, the author addresses complex topics with warmth and empathy, encouraging reflection on personal experiences and beliefs, from self-acceptance to societal norms. Despite its simple language and storytelling, the book offers profound insights that resonate with readers of all ages.
What I liked most about this book is its crisp and clear storytelling, which effectively conveys its message of self-acceptance. There's nothing I dislike or want to change about this book. The book is impeccably edited, ensuring a smooth reading experience. Thus, I rate it 5 out of 5. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking an enjoyable yet meaningful read. Whether you're a child grappling with self-esteem issues or an adult navigating the complexities of identity, "Not Fishy Enough" offers valuable lessons and plenty of entertainment along the way. It's a book that inspires reflection and encourages readers to embrace their true selves with confidence and compassion.
