calistareads's review against another edition
5.0
I’ve never seen artwork like this before. It’s so unique and different. I would have given this a Caldecott. I’ve seen a lot of artwork in picture books, by no means all of it, but this is different from everything else I’ve come across.
A father and son go fishing and make memories together and realize they are in a circle of life. It’s a simple story and it works well.
I like Sharon Creech’s middle grade books and saw her name and wanted to read this. Chris Raschka blew me away with the artwork. It really is different, just look at the cover. You can feel the air and the breeze with the pictures. It’s amazing.
The nephew thought it a slow and weird book. He hasn’t really been fishing, I don’t think. He can’t sit still long enough to do so. He didn’t feel like anything happened, and not much outwardly did. This is about a relationship. He was bored. He gave this 2 stars.

Cute story with wonderful illustrations...kept Robby's attention, even through the abstract concepts.
