Swim, Little Fish Swim is about a small fish, who goes off on his own one morning and what happens to him. As with other stories by the author, there is a moral for those who wish to find it. But the primary purpose of this book, colourfully illustrated by Primula Siddiqui, is to encourage children to read.

Inspired by the balloons at my grandchild's first birthday party, this story of a boy who bought one balloon too many should interest all children who love balloons. As in The Cat Who Loved Hats, there is a moral for those who wish to find it. But this story of a small boy and his balloons, colourfully illustrated by Keya Rahman and Aolad Hossain, is primarily meant to encourage children to read by appealing to their spirit of adventure. - Niaz Zaman
