Description
A boy and his dog embark on a fishing journey.
Their first catch of the day: a big fat letter F.
Their second? A slippery I.
After an epic journey beneath the lake's surface, they find what they came for-- a FISH, along with some unanticipated menace from a few other letters.
This clever, wordless picture book, by a popular New Yorker cartoonist, is filled with charm and heart and will have no problem swimming its way into the hearts of young readers.

About the Author
Reviews
"A full-bodied story with an economy of style, this will be particularly rewarding for emerging readers."—Kirkus Reviews, starred
"This essentially wordless story uses visual details and letters to create a gripping story and a clever word game. A strong addition." —School Library Journal
"With an old-fashioned palette of blue, black, and red, these clever cartoon-influenced illustrations will hook young readers."—Booklist
"Walsh works in a deliciously retro style evocative of both vintage screen prints and the work of Hergé, and his graphic skills and visually storytelling are highly polished."—Publishers Weekly
"The pacing is spot-on, with full pages, spreads, and occasional panel art all working together to
reel in the laughs, making this more than just another fish story."—Horn Book
