If parents are looking for a fun series that teaches kids vital interpersonal skills, they don’t need to look any further than The Adventures of Oliver the Clownfish, a series by author Stephanie Guzman. My youngest daughter (6) and I have read these books, together and separately. She is drawn to the vibrant illustrations provided by P.S. Babu (Invitation Slip-up) and TD (Acting Cool), and the ease with which she can read through them. I, on the other hand, like a story where animal characters display human characteristics and deal with human conflicts. I feel this makes the message of the book easier for children to accept and appreciate. Most of all, though, these are delightful stories that will engage your youngster. I’m sure my daughter and I will be reading The Adventures of Oliver the Clownfish again.

This is a great series for young kids. My daughter loves these two books and is waiting for the next in the series. Great books, with great stories, and great lessons!

My son has LOVED this book ever since his little fingers could hold a book. He is 10 months old now and it is still his favorite! The bright colors are fascinating, and the story is fun to listen to. He likes to look at the different animals and hear me read the book with different voices for the different characters. Great story for a great price!

Stephanie Guzman works in the school system and understands how to integrate lesson plans, activities, and children's books. Her "Oliver the Clownfish" books each address a "problem" young children face and offer solutions.

This series is a creative and fun way to help youngsters learn.
