--Booklist, starred review

What was it that enabled the Vikings, Christopher Columbus, and the Pilgrims to cross the cold Atlantic Ocean to America? What became a staple of the medieval diet in Europe, helped spur the American Revolution, and allowed the early New Englanders to start making money of their own?

Would you believe that it was a fish?

The cod!

Based on Mark Kurlansky's New York Times bestselling adult book, Cod, this picture book offers a unique look at over a thousand years of world history.

Breezy, kid-friendly prose...fascinating and informative...bound to hook young readers.
