One Less Fish

A spectacular picture information book set on the Great Barrier Reef. The fish shimmer from page to page with Toft’s vivid hand painted silk illustrations.. Co-written by Allan Sheather, the authors use classic rhyme as an environmental countdown is unraveled.

 Extract from the book

Twelve gracious angelfish
thinking they’re in heaven
along came the divers
and now there are eleven.
