Georgia author Joyce Mitchell devotes her writing skills to the field of children's books but they have enough depth that adults can appreciate the lessons in aiding children to grow into strong adults, full of self confidence and self esteem And loving reading. This is her first in this series of Big Tales and in this book she employs LLPix Photography for her illustrations.In Book 1 we meet the handsome and garrulous rainbow trout Gus and his friends TooToo the golden carp and the new `soon to be friend' Toby the talkative brook trout. The interplay of these cute characters is sufficient to entertain but the result of their joined adventures includes romance, traits learned about self esteem, positive thinking, finding courage to overcome fears and barriers to success, and the magic that can happen when friendships are born - and appreciated.Mitchell's writing is colorful, smart, raising the standard of writing for children stories and truly entertaining as well as being rich in life's lessons.
