Reviews

Kirkus: “It’s good fun to see this vigorous, involved Grandma leading the fishing expedition.”

School Library Journal: “An endearing family tale that will introduce children to different perspectives while maintaining a sense of intergenerational bonds.”

Booklist: “Brightly colored full-page scenes exemplify the children’s fascination and clearly illustrate the tools they use on their adventure. A natural fit for a social studies classroom, but also a cheery tale of intergenerational family life.”
