Reviews

[Paul Hankins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Noah (11) loves to write parodies, so I had to show him this Kevin O'Malley title that "reads/sings" along to "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

Carl catches a flying fish from a body of water that has a sign clearly marked "No Fishing."

We find out why the pond was marked in verse after humorous verse.

O'Malley's flying fish is skillfully and wonderfully illustrated with a devilish, impish grin throughout the havoc and mayhem.
