Five Silly Fishermen

AR level 1.5, great beginning reading book, my son who is not thrilled with reading loves to read this book. A story about 5 fishermen, who a good at fishing, but not so good at counting how many fishermen there are, a little girl comes a long and saves the day, and she gets all the fish. But the fishermen are happy they have each other. 32 pages if you enjoy this kind of book, Try "Sir Small and the Dragonfly" Level 1.8.

This was hands down my favorite book as I was learning how to read. I remember sitting in our guest room by myself and reading this book from the begging to the end all by myself. I screamed with joy and ran downstairs to tell my mother, who was probably proud of me but also annoyed with how I screamed and ran down the stairs. I always wondered who wrote this book, and if they see this, then thanks. It's a funny book that tells a good story and children will love it.

This is a wonderful addition to a home or K/1st library collection. The story and illustrations are whimsical. The math "mistake" is great practice for youngsters with problem solving. This is an entertaining book for emergent readers to read on their own or to be used as a read aloud.

What a comical book! My son loves it and it was easy for him to read and understand.

My kids laughed all the way through it. They were given a chance to count and talk through the fishermen and their mistakes. My oldest read it and laughingly told me I had to read it to my 2 1/2 year old. Fishing is very big in our house and the book was picked for that connection but is well worth reading.
