This book is about a boy who loves to go fishing. Every morning he would go out to the fishing hole and try catch his family dinner. In the beginning of the book he goes and never catches a thing. But everytime he goes a little fish swims by his worm, looks at it, and then swims right away. His parents tell him to not give up and keep going, that one day his luck would change. So he listens and goes back out there. So this day he goes out and catches a big fish. Then he throws his pole in again and catches a really big fish. He throws it in again and catches a really really big fish. As he is about to leave and bring back dinner for his family the little fish goes up to his worm swims around and swims right away. The boy laughed about this all the way home. For dinner his mom dad and him each had a fish. The boy told his parents about the little fish that got away and they laughed about it over dinner.
This book I always loved to read because I loved fishing. I always thought it was funny how he caught those big fish and never the little one. This book teaches kids not to give up on things and be persistant because if you put in the work the outcome will eventaully pay off.

This is a very cute book that I have read once before. I love this book because it reminds me of the times my Grandpa used to take me fishing. I hated the wiggly worms and had him to put the worms on for me. My grandpa would get all of the bites and I would never get any! He must have had yummier worms. I told my grandpa that I would not give up and we stayed out there until I caught my first fish. I agree that this book would teach students to never give up on something they dream of. Teaching students to not give up will help them throughout school because they will be more successful when their task is complete! I thought this book would be good to catch the attention of boys since it normally is something they have an interest in. Loved it!
