Great book. I purchased two of them and gifted them to my Great Nieces for Easter, and they and their parents loved the book.

I am fortunate to have an advance copy of "Henry the Wily Catfish." This is a thoroughly enjoyable read that's perfect for youngsters. It's fun, nicely illustrated and has a solid life message. I absolutely recommend.

Fun to follow to the developments in the storyline. Excellent illustrations that coincide with the plot. Great finish where everyone feels good about the decision of the children. Would be a great book for preschools and daycare facilities.

At first I thought that this would be too advanced for my 2 year old Grandson. I was concerned about his attention span so I tried to skip some of the pages and paraphrase the story. He quickly caught me flipping two pages at a time and made me read each page. The illustrations helped to keep his attention. He keeps asking for the Catfish book.

The author, David Cecil, is a friend of ours and gifted us the book. It's a really cute book full of fishing excitement that young children will love to read or have read to them. The illustrations were great also.
