What fish enabled the Vikings, Christopher Columbus, John Cabot, and the Pilgrims to cross the cold Atlantic ocean to America? What fish became a staple of the medieval diet in Europe, helped spur the American Revolution, and helped the early New Englanders start making money of their own?
Based on co-author Mark Kurlansky’s bestselling adult book Cod, this picture book examines the amazing role this versatile fish has played through more than a thousand years of human civilization. "Kurlansky is a masterful storyteller…Schindler’s pictures, from serious to silly, add to the pleasure," says Kirkus Reviews.
