I report that The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher was well-received by OisÃn and Rian. (Mr. Fisher, a frog, has a fishing adventure, and is almost eaten by a trout. He is saved because the trout dislikes the taste of his macintosh.) This surprised me a little. I think the clincher was the exquisite illustrations, and the beautiful (physical) finish of the book. Of course, it helps that the boys love fishing. They both caught their first decent trout this past Summer, in Mayo.
