"Clink Clankety-bang Thump-whirr "That's the sound of Papa at work. Although he is an inventor, he has never made anything that works perfectly, and that's because he hasn't yet found a truly fantastic idea. But when he takes his family fishing on Lake Michigan, his daughter Virena asks, "Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a fish?"--and Papa is off to his workshop. With a lot of persistence and a little bit of help, Papa--who is based on the real-life inventor Lodner Phillips--creates a submarine that can take his family for a trip to the bottom of Lake Michigan.
"Nothing ever happens here," the shepherd thinks. But the bored boy
knows what would be exciting: He cries that a wolf is after his
sheep, and the town's people come running. How often can that trick
