This book about a dad and his son and daughter going fishing is brilliant. The drawing is absolutely wonderful.

I don't know why it is called a novel, because it is a book of poems. It does tell a story like a novel does, so I guess that is accurate. Maybe they don't want to scare people off by calling it a book of poems.

The book reads quickly and very, very well. At the end is a very instructive section of poetry terms and what they mean. But that's after you enjoy the poems and the story they tell, as well as the thoroughly enjoyable drawing art.

The book goes into great detail about the day of fishing, the gear they used, the boat, and really brings it all to life. Really, really enjoyable!

While reading this to my grandchildren, I found myself getting really involved in the story and wondering how it was going to end. This is a very imaginative book that is very enjoyable. We all loved it and hated to see it end.

The illustrations are fun and I'll definitely be looking for more books by this author.

If you love the sea, this book is a special treat. Familiar childrens' rhymes rewritten with a nautical touch. Illustrations will make you smile. I bought it as a gift for grandparent friends who are often out in their boat fishing or pulling lobster pots. I know it will add to their grand kids' library for their over night visits.

I loved this book as a kid. I haven't been able to find it at the library for my children to enjoy it, so when we received it and they were able to read it, they loved it!!!

Great book with interesting history and stories about the pioneers of fishing.  I just found out that the Schmidt Brothers were distant cousins on my dad's side of the family and was able to see some great photos of my second cousins.  Since reading the book I passed it along to my Dad who turned 89 just recently and he was astonished and amazed to see and read about his first cousins who moved from Baltimore to Panama.  Since then I have reached descendants of the Schmidt brothers on Facebook and continue to learn more about their past and their passion for fishing.  This book is a treasure!

I decided to read and review this book because I always heard from my husband, who is not a reader, that it was a great book. I'm not big on classics and I figured, based on the title, this was just another book about fishing.

WELL....it was a book about fishing, but it was also a book full of wonder and strength. This is a book about a poor old man who is at sea for days. He catches a huge fish, the biggest he or anyone around had ever caught.

It follows his journey of catching, killing, and bringing the fish back to the main land. It really was a good book and made me think and feel for the animals of the sea a little more....Stormi

I loved the Hobbit when I was little. After the movie came out I wanted to read it again and purchased it through Amazon to share it with my grand kids. They really enjoyed the story and the character I could put into different characters by changing my voice a little It's a great family book to share

I'm happy to see another addition to the growing library of children's books that is focused on fishing.

As our culture grows further from the outdoors, the increasing 'Nature Deficit Disorder' that Richard Louv has written about in 'Last Child In The Woods' is an ever-present problem.

Outdoor Foundation research demonstrates that fishing is the #1 activity to get kids interested in the outdoors, so as far as I'm concerned, this book helps cultivate an interest that leads to great places for kids and one day, culture.

The story line is fun and the illustrations are classic - the colors are vibrant.

I look forward to sharing my copy with the kids in my life, and I know that they're going to enjoy it.

I am so glad I got this copy. The one the grandkids got from us was showing the years of use! So I plan to put this copy in my regular bookcase and when the time comes for great grand kids, well someone will remember how lovely the story was, and pass this copy on to them. We so enjoyed this book , I thought it was the best plan. Thanks to the author from our family, smiling emoji
