Summary

THE LITTLE FISH THAT GOT AWAY

A little boy goes fishing every day, but he never catches anything-no, not a single fish. So he waits and waits and waits, until one special day when a fish comes swimming by....

Illustrated by the incomparable Crockett Johnson, this simple, engaging story about a little boy and a clever fish was a hit with young readers-and young fishermen-when it was first published in 1957. This enticing new edition is certain to hook new fans!

Publisher's Weekly Review

Some old favorites are now available to a new generation of readers. The omniscient narrator of The Little Fish That Got Away by Bernadine Cook, illus. by Crockett Johnson, originally published in 1956, will win readers over as he or she addresses them directly: "Once upon a time there was a little boy who liked to go fishing. See, there he goes, over there on the other page." A clever use of repetition reinforces the boy's patience as he waits for a nibble on his bait, and Johnson's visual variations are so subtle that the pages almost serve as a flip book.
