I was so excited when I caught my first fish that I scream and scream.....needless to say, I not only lost my fish....I scared all of the fish away. They would never take me fishing again!Tami Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03639746358995156011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-22899922385614956852013-09-26T10:08:36.901-04:002013-09-26T10:08:36.901-04:00I loved going to my Aunt & Uncles for their an...I loved going to my Aunt & Uncles for their annual pool party.

I am a huge prude for the language we use for children, so a great observation Vera about some of the slang and the words chosen for this age group.

Just use of words such as stupid and idiot - which I think are just rude. The story is cute. The lessons to be learned very good. The writing skills excellent. The illustrations cute and the type to appeal to mid-to-upper-elementary age boys.Vera Godleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511948370346834218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-35546256546514617922013-09-19T13:09:32.925-04:002013-09-19T13:09:32.925-04:00This book sounds really funny and it's such a ...This book sounds really funny and it's such a shame about the language. There's just no need for a picture book to have language like that included.
