<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Join nine-year-old Catfish Sam as he captures a day of adventure in his net--and in verse -- in this unique middle grade novel told through poems and comic illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Triple Crown Awards' 2017-2018 Gallery Honor</b> <p/> "Just the thing for readers with a burgeoning interest in poetry--or angling."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> Nine-year-old Sam loves fishing with his dad. So when his pesky little sister, Lucy, horns in on their fishing trip, he's none too pleased. All ends well in this winsome book of poems--each labeled with its proper poetic form. Together the poems build a dawn-to-dusk story of a father-son bond, of sibling harmony lost and found--and, most of all, of delicious anticipation. Charming line drawings animate the poetry with humor and drama, and the extensive Poet's Tackle Box at the end makes this the perfect primer to hook aspiring poets of all ages.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Tamera Will Wissinger</b> has fond memories of night-crawler hunting with her father before fishing trips.
