Beautiful story
8 Dec 2000
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I loved this story. I think it will prompt questions of what a parent's childhood was like and maybe encourage some oral family history. The prose and illustrations create a dreamy atmosphere that may be appreciated more by the adult than the child, but it is such a sweet story that I would recommend it regardless.

THE JOY OF CHILDHOOD!
21 July 2001
By Dorothy Weiss
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Instead of "time outs", spending more time with your children, is the focus of this book. In it, a father and son bond by going fishing together. Out in the peaceful solitude of this natural setting they catch fish, and let their imaginations soar as they cast their lines into shimmering water. Lovely paintings highlight this charming story. Much like "Where Do Balloons Go?", by Jaime Lee Curtis, "Guardian Angels" by Naomi Judd, and "A Boy's Summer:Father and Son Together", by Gerry Spence. All four books are delightful and stir memories of the joy and simplicity of childhood.

For my Pop...
13 Sep 2000
By Xeneri
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book makes me sentimental. My pop took me on a fishing trip when I was little. And though we didn't try and "fish in the air", he did spend a lot of time telling me of his home town in Italy and how he learned how to fish. This book brings it all out again, in gorgeous illustrations and and powerful verse.
It doesn't matter if you have never fished in your life. Get this book for your father.
