My boy read it all night and it must have stuck because he woke up early to catch a betta fish out of the truck

Great gift!

I bought several copies of this book as gifts for the kiddos in my life. It’s such a fun book with facts presented in a way that are fun to read and that children can connect to. The illustrations are beautiful too! This book will continue to be a go to gift for me.

Best children’s book explaining life

This is a special children’s book that opens an understanding of life of fish, insects, and other wildlife living in or near a woodland steam. It’s perfect for my grandchildren to learn about true facts of nature: the most lustrations are high quality and the story is well paced for multiple age groups. I bought two books -1 for my young great nieces and nephews, and 1 for a local children’s education non- profit. It’ll be fun to see how the kids root for Clarkii or the Bugs!

Great read for my 3 year old grandson!

My 3 year old grandson enjoyed Clarkii Eats Bugs - both the artwork and the story. We were able to discuss the difference when Clarkii was the "predator" and when Clarkii was the "prey". He thought that was pretty funny.

Great story! Great artwork!

Thank you for producing this and giving our next generations a chance to learn about our fisheries early in life.

My 4-year-old loves - and so do I!

Clarkii Eats Bugs is a perfect children’s book that takes them through a day in the life of a trout in a fun manner while teaching them about the ecological factors that influence its habits (and that we anglers try to imitate and account for). Good for future and current anglers. Now my son exclaims “Just like Clarkii!” when he sees a trout on the cover of my books and magazines.

My Daughter Loves It

My daughter is 3 and is starting to get excited for spending time in the mountains and rivers. She likes being able to talk about this storybook when I’m coming back from the River and asking if I saw Clarkii (note: I get skunked often enough I have had to pretend I saw Clarkii, so maybe one drawback)

Nurturing that curiosity...

Clarkii -- a fun, adventurous native cutthroat trout -- was such a fun read with my girls, stoking their curiosity about what is happening under the water. Raising kids that love to fish has everything to do with nurturing that curiosity, and we are so happy to have Clarkii on our bookshelf (and in the classroom) to keep doing just that!

Thank you so much! Happy to have Clarkii help nurture the next generation of anglers and conservation minded people :)
