Gone Fishing: A Novel in Verse

128 pp. | Houghton | March, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-82011-8 $15.99
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Matthew Cordell. Sam is excited for his fishing trip with Dad--until little sister Lucy tags along. Poems in various forms describe the fishing trio's day: preparations, techniques ("Heeere, fishy, fishy, fishy..."), frustrations ("Lucy's winning eight to... / none"), and eventual triumphs. Cordell's buoyant illustrations are a natural fit for the upbeat verse. A "Poet's Tackle Box" section outlines poetic devices and forms. Bib.
