Fishing with Dad: Lessons of Love and Lure from Father to Son

This tale of fishing together is universal. It's about time at the water's edge. It's about passing time, and passing along knowledge. It's about that bond that something simple and mysterious and giddy as catching a fish can provide. By no means a kid's book, although children would certainly enjoy it. The photographs look more like watercolors, and the images are as much of my family as they are of the author's. A lasting celebration of that childhood fishing trip. For father's day, sure. And for any other person and any other day. PLUS a very cool fishing secret to pass along to your own small child.

This book creates a magical world of turtles, crawdads, snails, bats and mallards. The illustrations are mesmerizing. I believe that this is a great books for kids because it makes them consider the environment around them, it teaches a respect that many kids might not consider otherwise. This book goes far beyond fishing.
