Description

Where have the fish all gone?" sings the sea to Peter as he dreams. When he awakens, he sets out on a journey to answer this question. Will he find the answer with Mrs. Dooley, who remembers how fishing used to be; with Sarah, who loves the sea; with a marine biologist, who studies the vanishing fish; or with the fisherman who has built a boat, waiting for the fish to come back? Vibrant colour illustrations enhance a story filled with life and poignancy. Audio recordings feature a narration of the story and five original songs.
