Fishing With Dad - Hardcover

Aus dem Klappentext

In a lyrical story told in blank verse, Michael J. Rosen recaptures all the Sundays he spent with his father at favorite fishing holes as he watches his father--now a grandfather--take his grandson to those same fishing places. He hears his father's same advice, watches him teach the same lessons: how to bait, how to cast, and how to be patient.

In the voice of a young boy, Fishing with Dad invokes all the deatils and drama of the fishing experience: hiking to the perfect spot, sorting the lures and untangling lines, skipping flat stones, and, of course, the excitement of the bobber qipping across the water, netting a fish, watching it swim in the holding bucket, and letting it go. The story also reveals the father's fishing secret: somehow a fish was always saiting to bite when the boy returned from his creekside wanderings.

A story of wonder and discovery for young anglers, a gift of nostalgia and love for grown-up experts, Fishing with Dad is a story for everyone whose memories include some unhurried time at the water's edge, tossing a hook and a bit of hope into the water's current.
