Fodo Dodo Goes Fishing

Fodo Dodo去釣魚
和想像力一起玩遊戲

Fodo Dodo和Noodle是兩個傻裡傻氣，很愛找新鮮事的好朋友。今天，他們相約去釣魚，於是，他倆穿上雨衣、靴子、帽子和釣魚竿走進了…浴室。哇，這浴缸大小當船剛剛好呢。他們坐了進去，拿出釣竿，往外一甩，三兩下就釣到了一條漂亮的條紋孔雀魚﹙內褲魚﹚。這時，Dimple進來了，一臉不悅，原來，這條內褲是他的。Fodo Dodo和Noodle只好將它放進洗衣機清洗。看著小內褲在洗衣機清洗的樣子，他們假裝說我們正在看電視呢，節目名稱叫做「小內褲回鄉記」，真的是很會找樂子呢！
簡單、充滿想像力的小故事，彷彿看到孩子拿著小物品，玩扮家家酒遊戲。

A bright and contemporary picture book for young children about the fun of bath time, imaginative play—and fishing for underpants from the bath boat!

This morning, Fodo Dodo and Noodle go fishing. They take raincoats, boots, hats and a fishing rod. From their bathtub boat, they soon catch a beautiful striped fish out of the laundry basket—underguppies!

Fodo Dodo and Noodle rush to the kitchen to prepare their feast. But the owner of the underpants is not happy with this game of make-believe. Never mind, Fodo Dodo has another idea to keep the fun alive with an even better use for the rest of the laundry.

This cheerful, simple story takes its imaginary premise to a laugh out loud ending as two silly animals make the most of playtime in the bath. With wordplay, rhythm and repetition, this stylish picture book is built for a fun read-aloud full of silly words and humour. Themes of imagination and play, and contemporary graphic illustrations all help transform a dull or troublesome bathtime routine into a fun, creative playground for toddlers and preschoolers.
