The Fisherman and the French Flounder - by Raven Howell, illustrations by Pamela C. Rice
THE FISHERMAN AND THE FRENCH FLOUNDER is a fantastical tale for kids inspiring laughter and attesting to good judgement skills.
Loosely adapted from Grimm’s fairytale, The Fisherman and His Wife, THE FISHERMAN AND THE FRENCH FLOUNDER follows a poor fisherman in twisted back-and-forth shenanigans between his greedy wife and an enchanted fish. After several funny misunderstandingscaused by language barriers, the happily-ever-after comes with the power of love and kindness.
The book is great for kids who like humor, fairytales, have language or cultural interests, and enjoy whimsical adventures with Hollywood endings.
