When Mr. Muskrat catches a giant magic catfish, the fish buys its freedom with a wish. Mr. Muskrat wants something grand; Mrs. Muskrat wants a new roof for their house. Based on "The Fisherman and His Wife," this capably executed lesson in humility features too-stiff Photoshop art with a rustic look. An accompanying CD offers a dramatization of the story and music by the authors.
