Purchase options and add-ons

The team who brought grins to young readers with The Boston Balloonies and I Met a Moose in Maine have created a third charmer about a family of codfish and their friends. According to Shankman's rhyming narrative: The Cods of Cape Cod / Love their summer vacation, / And though they could go / Anywhere in the nation, / They keep coming back / To their favorite location, / 'Cause they know that Cape Cod's / A vacation sensation! The Cods of Cape Cod / Have a house on the beach, / And it's just the right size, / With a fish tank for each. . . . To this colorful fish-friendly house come the Cods' many fishy friends, shrimp comes from Sandwich, bass from Mashpee, swordfish from Chatham, and so on. And boy, do they know how to have fun!

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Ed is the award-winning author of 14 children's books (and counting). He has also published his novel, "The Backstage Man" — a labor of love that he co-authored with his cousin, Robert Gordon, over the course of 35 years.

    Ed’s entire life has been one long creative project. In addition to writing fiction for both children and adults, he is a performing musician (lead guitarist/singer/songwriter) and painter. Who knows, maybe some day he’ll take up ballet! (We’ll keep you posted.) Creativity has also been the driving force in his professional career where he served as a Chief Creative Officer in the advertising industry.

    Ed lives in Ipswich, MA, with his wife and best friend, Miriam.

    Dave O'Neill is an Illustrator and Art Director. Throughout his career, Dave has worked with several advertising and marketing agencies where he specialized in children's brands and event planning but he'd rather be drawing animals wearing hats. When he's not bringing Ed's rhymes to life, he lends his design skills to The Growing Stage—The Children's Theatre of New Jersey where he serves as President of the Board of Trustees. He is the recipient of the 2019 Award of Excellence from the New Jersey Theatre Alliance for his work there.

    About the Shankman and O'Neill Library

    For over 10 years, Author Ed Shankman and Illustrator Dave O'Neill have collaborated to create rhyming picture books that have found a special place in the hearts of families across the nation. Your children will lose themselves in the dazzling illustrations, the irrepressible imaginings, and the magical, mesmerizing music of words.

    ​You’ll love reading these books aloud as whimsical notions tumble off your tongue in sparkling rhyme.

    Dave and Ed have created twelve additional books in the Shankman & O'Neill library and believe a movie studio should approach them with plans for a cinematic MOOSE-iverse.

    So whether you choose the award-winning “I Met a Moose in Maine One Day”, the family favorite, “My Grandma Lives in Florida”, the heart-warming “The Sea Lion’s Friend”, the giggle-inducing “Where’s the Bathroom” or any other Shankman & O’Neill classic, you and your family will discover a blend of creativity, meaning, and pure fun that you’ll want to share again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for young children (and parents too!)

This book is so great for young children - we bought it because we love to visit the Cape and wanted to share the experience with our daughter. The pictures are bright and colorful, the story is engaging (particularly with the rhyming) and educational as it touches on all the different towns in the Cape and has more fish and sea creatures than one can count and my husband and I enjoy it as much as our 7 month old. She follows the story and is constantly reaching out to touch the animals and other items she sees on the pages. We've been reading her this book since she was two weeks old and I anticipate us reading this book for many years to come!

I purchased the book for my grand-niece (age 4). She and her younger brother have had it read to them so many times that they've memorized it. It probably wouldn't be so much fun for children who've never spent time on Cape Cod -- these two are very familiar with the area. My niece and nephew love it -- that's enough for me!

A really cute illustrated rhyme book, but for 18 months-5 year olds max, not sure why it's classified as ages 9-12 so it was by chance that I found it on Amazon! Fun new book to take on a Cape Cod vacation!

Man, I must read this book 3-4 times a day for my daughter. We actually had to buy two more copies because she tries to read it herself sometimes and rips the pages from excitement.
