Description

Grandpa Feliks can't wait to eat the carp he has bought for Christmas. But little Lucja loves Mr Fishy. Grandpa Feliks saw off the Germans, and then the Russians - but can he hope to win against his own granddaughter?

Quick Summary

A hilarious showdown unfolds when Grandpa Feliks brings home a Christmas carp only to discover his granddaughter Lucja has claimed the slippery survivor as a pet living right in the bathtub. Kids will root for bold little Lucja as she battles her stubborn grandfather using every clever trick a determined kid can imagine, from tearful pleading to creative fish-saving schemes. If your kid loves books like "The One and Only Ivan" or "Front Desk" where a young hero stands up for what matters, they'll be hooked on this heartwarming family face-off. Perfect for kids ages 7-10 in grades 2-5.
