Hooked by Tommy Greenwald - ADVISABLE

Greenwald, Tommy Hooked, illustrations by David McPhail.  Roaring Brook (Macmillan), 2018.  $17.  9781596439962.

A little boy loves to go fishing, but his Dad is not willing to participate.  When the boy has to have a parent with him on an ice fishing expedition, he is worried that his father will hate it.  Instead, they build bonds and his Dad is hooked.

What an interesting role reversal for the son and father – you must admit, it is usually the other way around on a fishing trip.  McPhail’s illustrations really add a dose of sweetness to this book.  This would be a great gift for a fisherman in you life, too.
