Although giant Finn is brave and good-hearted, he's also "a bit of a turnip head." Longing to be wise, he attempts to eat the source of all knowledge, a red salmon. Finn can't do it, though, and the fish rewards him with wisdom. Told in a lilting voice, the wordy story is accompanied by bold illustrations of the larger-than-life Finn.
