Daniel Pinkwater’s FISH WHISTLE is back in a new e-edition. Feel free to click over and “like” it… and even buy a copy if you are so inclined. It is chock full of short essays on a variety of topics, from traveling in Africa (and eating the world’s hottest chili pepper!), to raising dogs (or having them raise you…). They are short and fun and sure to amuse. And hey: $2.99, not too shabby!
