Friends

by Michael Foreman

Favourite children's illustrator Michael Foreman returns with this charming picture book about an unlikely friendship between a cat and a goldfish.

 

Whilst Cat loves wandering the city, wild and free, poor Bubble the goldfish is stuck in his tank, swimming round and round. But then Cat has a great idea for helping Bubble to escape the tank and enjoy being wild and free himself.

 

Foreman's characteristic, beautifully soft and gentle illustrations are used to great effect in this simple but powerful picture book about friendship, which is ideal for sharing. A series of elightful, colour-saturated spreads of the dark blue night-time city and green summer meadows conclude with a magnificent rainbow to accompany the story's pleasing happy ending.
