A familiar song beneath Hawaiian waters

Charlotte Diamond’s “Slippery Fish” becomes an illustrated board book, pairing its sequence of sea-creature characters with colorful depictions of fish and other animals found in Hawaiian waters. The slippery fish, octopus, tuna, great white shark, and whale give the pages a clear, song-based thread, while the island setting shapes the book’s visual backdrop. Its connection to a song taught with hand motions makes the book especially suited to sharing aloud and joining in together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families with preschoolers who enjoy songs and hand motions
  • Young children interested in fish and sea creatures
  • Readers seeking a Hawaiian setting in a board book

Book overview

Almost every preschooler in Hawaii learns the song Slippery Fish (or Octopus) written by Charlotte Diamond. The song is taught to kids along with hand motions, and parents throughout the islands know how to sing this song.

Now, in board book format, is an illustrated version especially for Hawaii's kids.

Each page glows with vibrant fish and sea creatures found in Hawaii's waters providing a subtle yet colorful backdrop for the main characters in the story: the slippery fish, octopus, tuna fish, great white shark, and humungous whale.

If you're not familiar with the song, just ask the closest 3 or 4 year old and they'll sing it for you.

Sure to be a popular book with 2 to 4 year olds.
