Inhaltsangabe:

A thoughtful, multigenerational tale of Sunday fishing trips with Dad, as seen through the eyes of the author as a young boy.

This lyrical story recaptures all the Sundays Michael J. Rosen spent fishing with his father at their favorite holes. He listens to his father’s advice on how to bait, cast, and be patient. Years down the road Rosen watches his father pass on the same lessons to his grandson.

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 unhurried time at the water’s edge, tossing a hook and a bit of hope into the current.

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.
