A girl pokes a stick into a lake and a fish with feet climbs out. This poetic tale is an amusing children’s fable based on one of the author’s most cherished childhood memories. The book was written and illustrated almost two decades before being dusted off and at long last published with another such beloved belated tale, The Fox Trot.
Lori R. Lopez is the author of numerous print and E-book titles, most for ages twelve through adult, often quirky fantasies and horror stories. Her very first completed book, The Mudpuppy is an animal story for all ages. Venture with her to the edge of the lake. Don’t forget your stick!

“It was really a shock,
For she never imagined
That fishes could walk!”
They said she was small
And would get in their way,
So she went by herself
Down the road to the lake.
~ from The Mudpuppy
It was quite a surprise!
It was really a shock,
For she never imagined
That fishes could walk!
~ from The Mudpuppy
She was lonely that day
At her grandparents’ house.
When she wanted to play,
The others told her, “Get lost!”
They weren’t very kind
And said she had rabies.
They hid from her, teasing
That they didn’t play with babies.
