What is The Fish with the Deep Sea Smile about?

Dive beneath the waves with a determined group of fishermen searching for a very special fish: one with a deep-sea smile. Along the way, they meet remarkable creatures with whiskers, flashing tails, sharp teeth and strange eyes, but none has quite the smile they seek. This lively rhyming tale is joined by playful poems, gentle stories and imaginative sketches from Margaret Wise Brown, creating a charming collection to share aloud with young children.
