Odd Fishing
Go fishing, get caught! A new humourous board book by the successful duo behind Below the Ice.
A little girl and her cat go fishing at sea. In the water, they rescue three drowning little pigs, then seven shipwrecked little goats... All aboard. But they are far too heavy and the ship capsizes. The big, bad wolf comes to the rescue! And just as well, his two little cubs are very, very hungry...
Good news come with the humourous final twist: Much to the chagrin of his little ones, he won't change the planned meal: It's fish on the menu!
IN THE MEDIA
About Michaël Escoffier & Ella Charbon's previous title: "'Below the Ice', a charming board book written by Michaël Escoffier that reads sideways, so that the spine is horizontal. This arrangement allows illustrator Ella Charbon to use the hinge as a dividing line between a snowy world of people, on the top, and a chilly realm of sea creatures, on the bottom. It is an ingenious format neatly suited to carrying off a kind of riddle that children may only recognize when they get to the last page." - Wall Street Journal
