Higgins Bend Song and Dance Written by Jacqueline B. Martin Illustrated by Brad Sneed Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1997 4+ years Simon Henry is determined to catch a crafty, bait-grasping
catfish that's been challenging his prowess as a fisherman. But Old Forktail
swims away with Simon Henry's fat redworms, his doughballs, and, worst
of all, his best five-day-old secret-recipe stinkbait. So Simon redoubles
his efforts and makes a series of bets about a successful catch with
Potato Kelly, proprietor of a local food, tackle, and bait store. Will
Simon catch his nemesis? Maybe not, but he will certainly discover that
he's made a friend and partner in his love for fishing. |
