Many children with a healthy imagination are scared of the dark, but this story shows how Pearl takes control and conquers her fear.
By using her imagination, she actually tames the scary dark with biscuits she pretends to bake at bedtimes. She calls them Imaginary Friendship Biscuits, baked with the very best friend ingredients. Placed beneath her bed at night, any shadowy things eating them would become friendly, and so she stopped being scared of the dark!
What she had not anticipated however, was for something greedy to eat so many biscuits that it grew enormous, but it was of course very friendly! It became Pearl’s very own Imaginary Fish Friend and an exciting shared adventure unfurls.
All you little people can also tame the scary dark with imaginary biscuits, as Pearl did, but maybe two, not six, a night!

I love the pictures of the bubbles, and the biscuits look yummy! I like all the satisfying descriptions which make me feel cosy and warm. It is a really nice story to read before you go to sleep. I’m going to try out Pearl’s idea!
This delightful book opens a child’s imagination with its lovely story and gorgeous pictures - this is one to keep
I loved the story and Pat's illustrations. My niece really enjoyed the story. I think a positive message for all children who are scared of the dark.
All four of our children really enjoyed Pearl and the Fish. Our eldest two children (7 & 9) loved the illustrations which really bring the book to life and our youngest two children (4 & 5) love the story of making biscuits for their imaginary friends at bedtime and blowing bubbles with the goldfish! looking forward to the next book in the series :)
Our toddler (2.5 years old) loves this book. He doesn’t yet have an understanding of dreams but he loves the illustrations and listens to the full story and comments on some of the pages himself. His favourite pages are the ones with the “aliens” (Moon Pearls) and the colourful fishes. We feel this is going to be a great little story for him to remember when he does understand dreams more as he grows.
