I'm surprised I was able to get this in the Nevada library system. It came ILL from Mineral County - look it up if you like, or just take me word for it that ice-fishing is not particularly indigenous to the area....

Otoh, I'm sure this book is a hit in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Maine. I enjoyed the humor and the drawings and the lesson. I'm not so sure Ivan and Olaf would learn their lesson so easily, and I'm a little uncomfortable with the fish being that ridiculously smart, but it's a worthy read if your library has it. Probably works best if read with the same perspective/ attitude as one would read a Tall Tale. ( )
