Who is smarter, a human or a fish. There are some pretty smart and pretty tricky fish in this book. It will take a master genius to outwit them. The story has some problems, like does a $50,000 bill actually exist. Overall it’s a fun read. (

summary: Cheryl and her dad went ice fishing and they leave with something other than fish! The fish are trying to catch people back!
reflection: I thought this book had an interesting twist in that the roles were reversed in a fishing scenario! I laughed so hard when Cheryl came out of the water frozen, it was so silly. I can't imagine being in water that cold! And I don't want to!

This book can be useful for children to learn that they need to think twice when making a decision. I liked all he illustrations because children can easily understand what the book is about. (
