Hook, Line, and Sinker!
OH, NO! by Candace Fleming with illustrations by Eric Rohmann. Schwartz and Wade, 2012.
One by one, animals fall into a deep hole. First goes Frog, "Oh, no!" Just when it looks as though Frog might be rescued by Mouse, in she falls. Ditto Loris, Sun Bear, and other good samaritans. What will happen when the hungry tiger comes along and sees a veritable feast waiting for him in the hole? <571>
JANGLES by David Shannon. Blue Sky Press/Scholastic, 2012.
Jangles is the fish that got away and got away and got away. He has so many lures and hooks and such in his mouth that they click and clack when he approaches. Hence his name: Jangles. This whale of a tale/tale is lushly illustrated as well. <572>
