FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Nine-year-old Sam loves fishing with his dad. So when his pesky little sister, Lucy, horns in on their fishing trip, he’s none too pleased. All ends well in this winsome book of poems—each labeled with its proper poetic form. Together the poems build a dawn-to-dusk story of a father-son bond, of sibling harmony lost and found—and, most of all, of delicious anticipation. Charming line drawings animate the poetry with humor and drama, and the extensive Poet’s Tackle Box at the end makes this the perfect primer to hook aspiring poets of all ages.

FROM SARAH:

This absolutely delicious novel in verse will make anyone want to grab their tent and head to the woods. The easily decodable text and short chapters make it perfect for early readers, and the charming story and spirited characters make it a fantastic read-aloud for kids of all ages.
