Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- In this delightful variation of the old tale, five fishermen spend the day fishing, and before going home, decide to count to make sure one of them has not drowned during the day. Each fisherman counts and comes up with only four fishermen, forgetting himself as he counts. They cry and bemoan the loss of their friend until a little girl comes along and "finds" their missing friend in exchange for a fish. She tells them to jump into the river while she counts--to five. She goes home with the fish, but the fishermen are happy to be reunited. Soft-colored caricature drawings extend the humor of the text. The font is appropriately large and well laid-out with the illustrations. Good silly fun for very young readers. --Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, IA

5.0 out of 5 stars
My kids Loved it!,
By Kris Harrell (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Five Silly Fishermen (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) (Paperback)
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.

The first book I ever read on my own,
This review is from: Five Silly Fishermen (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) (Paperback)
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.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Five Silly Fishermen (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) (Paperback)
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.
