Where the Big Fish Are

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. Rich paintings illustrate this story of two young boys who dream of sailing out of the mangrove swamp to "where the really big fish are." Their dedication is tested when a fierce storm destroys a raft they worked hard to build. The unadorned narrative is straightforward and immediate; the realistic oil paintings add drama and atmosphere.
