This simple, vivid story follows the food chain created when a naughty boy throws a goldfish down the toilet. It reaches the sea, and is soon eaten by a bigger fish, which in turn is eaten by an even bigger fish. The chain eventually leads back to the boy, with dramatic results. The text is minimal ('Bigger fish. Great big fish'), but every picture on every page is packed with detail, and each should be capable of opening up discussions on subjects from fossils to fishing - and to sewage!
