About A CatFish Tale:

A Spanish Translation of A Catfish Tale. It's a very funny story, focusing on friendship and loyalty - about going above and beyond for a good friend, being responsible and learning how to overcome challenges. The characters are delightful and the reader will chuckle at the highly unlikely friendships that are a model for diversity and tolerance.

Discussion questions delve into friendship, responsibility, temptation and geography, and enable parents, educators, therapists and librarians to create a dynamic learning experience from an engaging storyline with whimsical illustrations by Brodsky's talented illustrator, Cameron Bennett. Creative "funtivity" exercises encourage young readers/listeners to put those lessons into action.

About the Author
Brodsky, Kathy: - Kathy Brodsky, a psychotherapist, poet, and award-winning author, writes and promotes quality books that are timely, visually exciting, educational and most of all fun!

While he was showing her steps, she was showing him plans for her first children's book My Bent Tree. Need an illustrator? he asked, and since then, the two have collaborated on eight books. Cameron also paints portraits and murals, holds a MFA from Lesley University, and has taught drawing and painting at the New Hampshire Institute of Art. He no longer teaches Tango; raising a daughter and son is enough of a dance to keep him busy for now.
