Hundreds of Fish

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Monique Felix. A girl vows to catch a large pike, identifiable by the two lures stuck in its mouth, after she witnesses it eat all three of a mother's ducklings on the nearby lake. She finally captures the fish, only to discover when she slits it open that the pike is also a mother, carrying hundreds of eggs. Written as a introspective prose poem and accompanied by serene watercolors, this cerebral book may have a limited audience.
