If you like board books that are a bit outré, then this series “Eyeball Animation” books may appeal. Two large eyeballs protrude from the front cover in the face of a very large fish and, on the back of the book, what appears to be a giant eel. Max, the Minnow wonders why all the big fish seem to have so much fun while he and his friends just seem to hide. He decides to venture out on his seahorse and ask some of his fish friends how he can be big. The advice ranges from being cool, to overeating at Sawfish Malts, Pizza Cove, and the Noodle Hut all manned by a variety of sea creatures. At Sharky’s Diner, Max got a real surprise, he was the main menu, but all the food he had eaten slowed him down. Never mind this is a bright little minnow, and he finds a place to hide and escapes a nasty fate. This book is not exactly soothing bedtime reading. 2000 (orig. 1997), Accord Publishing, $9.99.
