review 1: David Shannon is WILDLY POPULAR in elementary school libraries. The kids love the “David” books and the David Shannon books are among the favorites at check-out time. This book about “the one that got away” will certainly have its place in that faves list. Jangles is a sassy fish so famous that he has been talked about for generations. Kids will immediately identify it as a David Shannon book not only because of the boy’s round head, but the expressions on Jangle’s face. The illustrations were marvelous! I especially got a hoot out of the one with Jangles and all the lures stuck in his lips--making him the superstar “one that got away.” Kids who are fishermen will relate to that. Jangles begs the question: "What is more important--the event or the stories w... moreill tell about it forever?"A great place to animate would be the part where dad brings out his green tackle box and shakes it to make it “jangle” like the fish’s name--another aspect that will be relatable to fishermen in the class. It was a quick, easy read and VERY David Shannon.
review 2: Jangles is a book about a dad telling his son a tall tale. He tells his son about an old fishing tale, where there was an enormous fish in a lake nearby. According to the dad one day he was fishing as a little boy and caught something. It was an old fishing rod, which he began to reel in as well. On the end of the hook was Jangles, the ginormous fish! He pulled the boy under water and showed him where he lived. He could also talk and told the young boy all of the fish secrets. In reality we know that Jangles wasn’t real and this didn’t actually happen. These fishing hooks were probably accumulated through many years of fishing, and I’m sure there is a story for every single one of them. But a father son relationship is a very special one. As the father was passing down these hooks he wanted his son to have the same experiences and memories fishing as he did. I really liked this book and I would share it to my class and ask them to share stories that they have with their mother or father. The story is a smooth and easy ready and will be enjoyable for students. less
