For Kids and Their Grown-Ups: “Can You Teach a Fish to Climb a Tree?” by Jane Godwin and Terry Denton Review by Laura Frantz, collection development librarian Creators Jane Godwin and Terry Denton pose a series of questions for readers to mull over. Can you teach a fish to climb a tree? Can a horse drive a car? Can a baby bake a cake? And so on. These seemingly improbable scenarios are brought to life in playful illustrations. Then, Godwin and Denton flip the switch for readers by showcasing all the amazing things these creatures can do. It is a wonderful look at the special skills and talents we all have and encourages children to share what they like to do. A great choice for reading aloud or one on one.
