Description: What could be better than fishing with your grandpa? Catching a fish all by yourself! Early one morning, on her first grown-up fishing trip with her grandfather, a young girl tiptoes down to the dock, fishing rod in hand. The water is churning just off the pier. Casting out, she tries once, twice, three times and then--something HUGE takes the bait! This lyrical tale celebrates the bonds of loving inter-generational relationships, respect for nature 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."
