—Fishery Biologist, Pascagoula, Mississippi
“The book is beautiful . . . it is proudly displayed in my office where I’ve shared it with the fishermen. The illustrations are truly incredible.”
—Fish-Processing Plant and Restaurant Owner, Cortez, Florida
“The books are truly magnificent and the art is incredible.”

“We are using A Good Catch in an enriched LA class as a springboard for our own illustrated efforts.”
—Middle-School Teacher, Maine
“I love the book—very excellent pictures and text. This is SO right up our alley. Our exhibits are all about research and fisheries, and this book is amazing. . . . There aren’t many books that are so on-point with what we do here, and have a language to connect with both kids and adults.”
—Manager, Bookstore and Visitor Operations, Newport, Oregon
“Great job on the book! Seems it would be great for kids as well as anyone who wants to learn a little more about fishing and how it all works.”
