About the book

Tiny fish. A very big ocean.

Playful, mischievous, and delightfully absurd, Fubble Fish Fun is an offbeat underwater adventure where curiosity leads the way and imagination runs wild!

Made for reading aloud together, Fubble Fish Fun combines vibrant geometric illustrations, lively alliteration, playful humour, and expressive words that whisper, stretch, swoop, and shout across the pages. A discovery-filled read-aloud adventure for ages 3–6.

The words move with the story

Read it. Whisper it. Shout it. Swim with it.

The language gives young listeners something to reach for. Repetition, sound effects, and funny voices sit beside words such as junction, wondrous, and majesty, while pictures and rhythm keep the meaning clear.

The words are part of the action, too. They shrink when the fish need to be quiet, stretch across the page, and grow very loud when the story calls for it. Grown-ups get clues for how to read, and children get natural places to join in.

Made for reading together

A read-aloud full of surprises to share.

Grown-ups bring the whispers, shouts, and comic timing. Children follow the Fubbles, spot the visual jokes, anticipate familiar complaints, and discover details that reward another look.

01

An ocean made from shapes

Whales, sharks, turtles, jellyfish, and fish emerge from crisp, faceted forms rather than conventional drawing.

02

Sounds worth saying out loud

Alliteration, repetition, and comic sound effects give the person reading plenty to play with.

03

Words that move

Type changes size, direction, spacing, and volume so that reading the words becomes part of the scene.

04

Words worth discovering

Unusual words are part of the playful soundscape, with pictures and comic context inviting children to discover what they mean.

05

Comic suspense and deadpan surprises

Huge creatures, a slippery shark, and a last-minute pinch of trouble turn dramatic moments into visual jokes and deadpan punchlines.

06

More to notice the next time

Scale changes, callbacks, background details, sound effects, and small jokes give repeat readings something extra.

The visual concept

A geometric ocean with a logic all its own.

Tiny fish drift beside enormous creatures. Jellyfish glow. Teeth can look scratchy and slightly ridiculous. Proportions shift when the story needs them to.

The geometry gives the ocean its structure, but not its restraint. The result is playful, a little odd, and unmistakably Fubble.

Peek inside

A few pages from beneath the surface.

A glimpse of the book’s scale, sound, humour, and geometric world, without giving away where the Fubble Fish are headed.

Made for preschoolers. Meant to be shared.

Fubble Fish Fun is made for reading aloud together, especially for ages 3–6. Adults supply the funny voices and dramatic pauses; children explore the pictures, join in with favourite phrases, and enjoy the surprises at their own pace.

Frequently asked questions

What age is Fubble Fish Fun for?

It was created as a shared read-aloud for ages 3–6, with its strongest appeal for preschoolers around 3–5.

Will younger children understand every word?

Probably not every word, and they do not need to. Words such as junction, wondrous, and majesty appear alongside clear pictures, repetition, rhythm, and context. Children can understand the moment first and grow into the word later.

Is it an educational book?

Not in the traditional sense. Fubble Fish Fun is a playful underwater adventure filled with deadpan humour, delightful absurdity, and unexpected discoveries. Made for reading aloud together, it invites children to laugh, listen, explore the illustrations, and enjoy the surprises along the way.

Why does the artwork look geometric?

The angular, childlike geometric artwork is an intentional part of the book’s personality. Scale, colour, and unexpected shapes create an ocean where even the smallest visual detail can become a joke or discovery.

Is the book frightening?

There are slippery sharks, big teeth, and a few moments when the fish need to hurry, but the suspense stays comic and exaggerated rather than intense.
