Written by Bulletin Blue Ribbon Book author John Frank, How To Catch a Fish is a unique children's picturebook offering thirteen different poems about fishing under different conditions worldwide. The soft, slightly abstract yet vividly evocative illustrations by Christopher Medal-winning artist Peter Sylvada perfectly complement the primal rhythm of the verses. For example, the poem that describes seine fishing in Turtle Bay, Tobago reads, "Within the early hours of day / we launch our small boat from the beach / and spread our net out on the bay, / then shortly after drag it back / upon the shore, and sort the catch- / anchovy, tuna, kingfish, jack- / and if we're lucky there'll be lots / to fill the village supper pots." A read-aloud treat to share between parents and children who love the sport and art of fishing.
