Ivan and Olaf are best friends and fierce competitors, especially as they compete to catch the legendary fish, Methuselah, during an ice fishing contest. Methuselah can't stand their bickering and makes his own plans. Told with a strong storytelling voice, this comic tale carries a message about friendship. Crisp and dramatic watercolors are an integral part of the book's strong impact.
