OUTSTANDING!

I have been reading this story to 1st - 5th graders from 12 elementary schools. The kids are wide-eyed and engaged as the story unfolds. They laugh right out loud when Olaf tells Ivan, "You couldn't catch that big dumb fish if it jumped out and kissed 'ya!" Great illustrations!!.! I have purchased 35 copies as gifts to school libraries and prizes for a "Write a Fish Tale" contest that this book has inspired. I highly recommend it

Great Book!

Kids love this book! I've read this story to boys and girls age 4-12. They laugh right out loud when Olaf says to Ivan, "You couldn't catch that big dumb fish if it jumped out and kissed 'ya!"

Well written, beautiful, fun illustrations, and good moral about friendship and working together.

I highly recommend it.

Ivan and Olaf are best friends with a single shared ambition to outdo each other. Whether it's chopping firewood, climbing trees, or eating pancakes for breakfast, these two just can't stop competing! And when the annual Moosehead Lake Ice Fishing Contest comes around, you can bet Ivan and Olaf are each determined to catch the biggest fish in the lake.

But the biggest fish in Moosehead Lake is also the smartest fish in Moosehead Lake. He's the legendary Methuselah, and he has no intention of being caught by the bickering buddies. Ivan and Olaf may be a well matched pair--but are they a match for Methuselah?
