Silly Fishy Stories for Kids

Living in the sea does not stop these creatures from living the wild life. Peter Penguin is bored with his life. He and his friends long to break away. That is until while having fun feeding they suddenly find themselves the hunted not the hunters. They are attacked by seals and barely make their escape. They then appreciate what they have. Flooky is a flying fish who doesn`t want to fly - he wants to swim - after all he is a fish. His family disagrees and his brothers laugh at him. Flooky goes back to his old ordinary fish pals but they don`t want him. One day his mother takes him out to play, gets him excited and wound up and soon he is flying just like his brothers. He loves it. Ms. Crab has a problem. Crabs go sideways, but she goes straight ahead, so she always ends up in a different place to her friends. They think she is snobby. Ms. Crab is upset and her tears upset a clam who is trying to keep dry. He tells her to be herself, find out where they are going and get there first and welcome her friends. She does and they love it. So does she. Sammy Seahorse is disappointed. He isn`t actually a horse. Real horses lead a much more interesting life. They give people rides while he just floats around looking pretty. Pretty useless he thinks. He can`t give fish rides on his back as they have no arms or legs. Ah, but an octopus has. He gives rides to every baby octopus around and they think he is wonderful and so does he. Ollie is a young octopus who cannot control his eight arms. They seem to have a mind of their own. He would like to have only four but then he wouldn`t be an octopus would he? One day he crashes into Cedric shark which is not a good idea. He is rescued by an uncle who takes him in hand. Puts L plates on him and teaches him some measure of control. When he improves he is allowed P plates and eventually is allowed out on his own. He is much improved but never quiet gains total control. Cedric is a sympathetic shark who cannot bear to eat any of his young friends he has grown up with on the reef. So he is hungry which makes his friends nervous. They go further afield to attract food for him but gain the attention of two other sharks who try to attack the reef. Cedric beats them off so ferociously that word spreads to stay way. The reef fish are secure so Cedric can go hunting far away and not be worried. Stella is a stagestruck starfish. She is determined to be a star even though her singing is so bad that the reef is in danger of becoming deserted. She reviews bands and finally finds one that suits her. They are the Stoned Reef Rollers. When they practice in a cave the echoes make Stella sound in tune and in time. They invent a sound system of conch shells which turn Stella into a star. Eddie Electric Eel and Stanley Stingray are normally rivals but have become buddies. They are losing their power and are becoming hunted instead of hunters. They have to hide until uncle eel shows them how to regain their power. They must hunt the reef in a thunderstorm and when lightning strikes grab the coral for the electricity. It works, they are back to normal. Sinclair the Sea Dragon is very disappointed. Dragons are fearsome creatures who belch fire. He doesn`t. In fact in comparison he is a bit of a wimp. How can you have fire under water when the water puts it out? He discovers an underwater volcano and is fascinated but fearful. How can he trap that fire? While thinking he is warned off by a friendly dolphin who tells him he is on the main path of a whales feeding ground. He moves, just in time. He decides to be more content. Pauline the Puffer Fish knows she is dangerous and loves the power her poison gives her. She is puffed up all right, with pride. She shows off and rules the roost until one day she throws her weight around a little bit too much and upsets a marlin. She doesn`t see the danger and persists. The marlin spins and punctures her Puffer with his spike. Pauline bursts, shrinks and is never the same again.
