Bonnie Grubman grew up with a love of reading. As a child, she lived in an apartment with her family, pet turtles, and a parakeet. On hot summer nights, she would cool off on the fire escape with a flashlight and a big stack of books. Bonnie went to nursing school, but later decided to trade her nurse's hat for a classroom full of picture books. She was inspired by her students who found joy and curiosity in everything they saw. Because of these kids, and for all kids, she became a writer. Bonnie lives in Syosset, New York.

“Now that’s how you catch a fish!”
Willy knows everything about fishing—or so he thinks. Walter doesn’t know much about fishing, but he tries to be helpful. Unfortunately, Willy won’t listen, and the fish won’t bite. But the two friends don’t give up easily, and as they surely have fun trying, things look up!
A funny story about being persistent, enjoying the great outdoors and spending quality time with our loved ones. For lovers of fresh air (and fishing pros!) 5 years and up.
