A wildly popular gift for fishermen young and old, this fish chant is a celebration of North American freshwater fish. Rhyme, rhythm, repetition, voice, and wacky illustrations bring this book to life. The backmatter is full of facts about each fish. If you're studying rivers, streams, lakes, fish, or just how to have fun with words, this book is a must.

-Book Mom, Amazon review

The sequel, ANT, ANT, ANT: THE INSECT CHANT, is coming in Fall, 2005.
