Mookie Goes Fishing

Set in the tropical jungle of South America, this story tells of Mookie, 'too young' to join his father on a fishing expedition, who decides to embark on one of his own. Which of the two is more successful on that particular day? Of course, it's the ever-resourceful Mookie. But what were those items of treasure - tangled string, crayon, marbles and so on doing in his pocket in a tropical jungle? How did he just happen to have a safety pin holding up the hem of his shorts? If you can suspend disbelief sufficiently to accept such unlikelihoods, you'll probably enjoy this crazy tale, as I'm sure many readers of 6-8 will. Korky Paul's suitably zany and detailed illustrations of the incongruous family in this lush landscape are guaranteed to bring many smiles.
