Clankety-bang! Thump-whirr! </i>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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Fleming's telling is lively, humorous, and specific." --<i>The Horn Book</i> <p/>"A humorous tribute to the zany, determined and innovative side of invention." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"There's a rich history of batty inventor/tinkerer dads in children's books, and the girl narrator's father in this book could hang with the best of them." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"*The exuberant and inquisitive tone of this book is sure to entertain curious children." --<i>School Library Journal, starred review</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Candace Fleming</b> is the author of many picture and young adult books, including <i>Boxes for Katje, Gator Gumbo, </i>and <i>The Great and Only Barnum, </i>a finalist for the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction.
