Kids book...

I wanted to put out there that while you are at the Columbus Fishing Expo you can pick up something cool for your little fishing buddy. The Little Miami Conservancy has put out an excellent children's book. Instead of about dragons or fairies or something made up this one features characters based on wildlife that actually live in our rivers. Small Fry Sonny, an baby smallmouth bass, is swept downstream during a spring storm and carried far from his home and friends at Bass Island Bar. Sonny encounters danger along the way and gets help from several river critters in finding his way back upstream to home. Beautifully written by Bill Schroeder and cleverly illustrated by artist James Billiter, this book offers early readers an appreciation of conservation and river ecology. We will be selling the book for ten dollars in our booth at the show. I know my granddaughter loved it and you will be helping promote a cause dear to my heart, river conservation. And it is the only children's book I know that teaches your kids something about the fish and animals we have around here in our rivers.
