Grandmother hurries through her morning chores so that she can get to the real business of the dayfishing until sunset and then eating a pan-fried fish for supper. PW found this Caldecott Honor Book "a tale that is as entrancing as it is tidy."

Condition: Fine in very good plus jacket. Dust Jacket Condition: dj. First edition. First printing of this charmingly minimalist story of a little old lady's day fishing. M. B. Goffstein imbued her children's books with her personality - editor Susan Barba reflects that Goffstein "found the right art form, the right structure and patterning, to distill her life experience [.] she managed to compress an entire philosophy into a single line - or two lines rather, the line of the drawing and the line of the text." Her skillful combination of story and image earned her a Caldecott Honor in 1977 for FISH FOR SUPPER, among other accolades. 6'' x 7''. Original orange cloth boards. Original unclipped ($4.95) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in black and white. [32] pages. Jacket with mild edgewear, a bit of sunning to spine. Sharp. Seller Inventory # 46556
