The team who brought grins to young readers with "The Boston
Balloonies" and "I Met a Moose in Maine" have created a third
charmer about a family of codfish and their friends. According to
Shankman's rhyming narrative: The Cods of Cape Cod / Love their
summer vacation, / And though they could go / Anywhere in the
nation, / They keep coming back / To their favorite location, /
'Cause they know that Cape Cod's / A vacation sensation! The Cods
of Cape Cod / Have a house on the beach, / And it's just the right
size, / With a fish tank for each. . . . To this colorful
fish-friendly house come the Cods' many fishy friends, shrimp comes
from Sandwich, bass from Mashpee, swordfish from Chatham, and so
on. And boy, do they know how to have fun!
