While they both enjoy the outing, he secretly hopes that neither of them will catch anything as he wants the fish to stay alive. This gentle, touching narrative told by a fun-loving but sensitive boy has the true feel of a quiet summer morning. The soft watercolors work hand in hand with the words, and the warm shades of purples, greens, and blues give the pictures a tender, almost dreamlike quality appropriate to the book's natural setting of water, mountains, and forest. At a time when children lead such hectic lives, a calm, moving story such as this will be greatly appreciated as a change of pace.
