The Story of Fish and Snail by Deborah Freedman

Fish and Snail live in a book.  Fish is the adventurous one, leaving their book to explore other books and then shares his adventures with Snail.  One day Fish wants to Snail to leave his familiar home/book and experience the story.  Snail is reluctant.  The friends argue.  A story of compromise.
The illustrations are dynamic-the water and Fish and Snail seem to move through the water and leap off the pages.  The story was a bit lacking-when it ended, it seem abrupt.
