Synopsis
A young girl and her grandfather love spending time together fishing on the farm -- talking, sharing stories or just listening to the wind as they wait for a bite. For her birthday, Grandpa gives her a brand-new fishing rod. And now, at the very beginning of bass season, they're off to the lake for her first grown-up fishing trip. She can't wait to catch a fish all by herself -- maybe even the biggest fish in the lake! This lyrical tale celebrates nature, the bonds of loving, intergenerational relationships, and a child's first steps toward independence. The timeless illustrations capture the quiet pleasures and dramatic thrills of fishing. Together they serve as a reminder that there is more to life than simply landing "the big one."

From Booklist
Ages 5-8. Lovely watercolor illustrations decorate this sweet story about the special times a young girl has fishing with her grandfather. The child's first-person narrative describes her experiences, fishing first with an old bamboo pole and later with a real fishing rod Grandpa buys her for her birthday. Then comes another surprise: Grandpa promises to take her on her first fishing trip. After a disappointing first day, the girl wakes up at dawn and heads for the lake on her own. In an exciting climax, she snags a powerful muskie and must use all her skill to make the catch. It's clear from the smartly written text that Carney has been fishing; her authentic language and detailed descriptions will thrill young fishing enthusiasts. Other children will like this, too, for the exciting story line, the well-developed characters, and the superb nature scenery. Lauren Peterson
