One Frozen Lake


Okay, I know it's hot and humid outside today (and we had a long cold winter), but this book will warm your heart anytime of year.  One Frozen Lake tells about the winter-time fishing adventures of a grandfather and grandson as they drill holes, drop a line, visit with neighbors, and wait, (yes, wait) for a bite.  Will they ever catch a fish?  Maybe that isn't the point of this wonderful picture book by Deborah Jo Larson, with illustrations by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher. To some degree, it is also a counting book; and the "flannel shirt" illustrations add extra warmth. This title was recognized by the International Reading Association, by winning the Children's Fiction Award for Primary Fiction in 2013.
