At least that’s what Leo saw. Or did he? Zoe thinks his description sounds just like Berta, the sweet-tempered cow in the meadow . . .  Bestselling author Marcus Pfister skillfully weaves a hilarious story of mystery, suspense and just a hint of scariness.

Rainbow Fish's deep sea friends love eating krill, but so does the big whale. When he swoops in, the fish think he's going to eat them, so they hide. Hurt, the whale pretends he's going to do just that, but, in the end, he and Rainbow Fish have some fun.
