An illustrated children's book that aims to guide the readers of the story along with the main characters. At the beginning, we meet Denis, an ordinary eight-year-old boy. Once he washes his hands, the fish falls out of the tap. To Denis's surprise, the pet speaks, introduces himself as Mr. Fish, and insults asking for refreshments and a seat container. Denis watches his guest in disbelief for a while, but then he agrees and they start talking. He gradually finds out that Mr. Ryba is a nice friend and can help him with things that Denis can't handle on his own. The book is primarily intended for parents with children, its main purpose is to bring a new dimension to reading and support communication between child and adult. There are several dozen questions and tasks in the text, which are always related to a specific situation in the book. Tasks are chosen to keep attention and to stimulate thinking and conversation. At the same time, it is possible to read the book over and over again and always come up with new solutions.
