Leland on Trout, Trout, Trout: A Fish Chant
This delightful, hilarious "fish chant" will have fish lovers laughing at the antics this author and illustrator imagine underwater. The jaunting text begs to be "chanted" out loud--if you can get through it without giggling! Wacky, bold illustrations add even more humor, yet accurately depict dozens of freshwater fish. TROUT, TROUT, TROUT! is an ideal collaboration of science and entertainment. Whether young readers enjoy fish in their own fish bowls, up at the lake, or on the end of their fishing poles, they'll get a kick out of chanting, "Trout, Trout, Trout!"

ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR
Trip Park, as a kid, had every kind of aquarium fish, and with a pond in his backyard and a lake in his town, he quickly became an amateur expert on his scaly friends. Trip was drawn to advertising, as an art director long before he illustrated, and his editorial cartoons have been in Greensboro's News & Record and USA Today. He also illustrated Gopher Up Your Sleeve, a children's picture book written by Tony Johnston. Trip currently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina, with his wife and his own school of four children.
