Steamboat Annie and the Thousand-Pound Catfish

32 pp. | Philomel | October, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23331-8 $$15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Howard Fine. To defend the town of Pleasant, Steamboat Annie, the town's larger-than-life mayor, must face off with Ernie, a colossal catfish who is eating small boats, docks, and even took a bite out of the church. In "a fearsome fishing battle," she defeats not only Ernie but also her unscrupulous rival Jefferson Jackson. Vigorous acrylic paintings enhance the tall-tale atmosphere of this story set on the Ohio River.
