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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux (Byr)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374399085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.89h x 10.65w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Clover Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Volunteer State Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013 pg. 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/16\/2013 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSLJ's Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2013 pg. 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e158923 \/ Papa's Mechanical Fish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.1 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Candace Fleming","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636634874012,"sku":"9780374399085","price":17.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a52a2817-61c8-4dff-8ca9-dc1d437fb58c.jpg?v=1603842499","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/papas-mechanical-fish-9780374399085","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
