New fishing book for kids
The Barefoot Fisherman: a fishing book for kids will take adults back
to childhood days of ice cream trucks and lightning bugs. But, sorry friends,
pleasant as the trip may be, this book is not for you. It’s for your
kids.
The book explains the fundamentals of fishing as if the author were your
older brother. Amdahl does not preach; he shares. The book reads like
a pirate’s treasure map as each chapter tugs the young reader deeper
into the seaside caves of angling.
The Barefoot Fisherman does not discuss entomology, advanced knots, or
difficult casting techniques. Instead, it focuses on the aspects of fishing
that kids love: raising earthworms, catching crawdads, making doughbait.
Try to find a grownup book that considers tomato worms as bait. The author’s
contagious love of the sport and gentle humor will probably create many
new fisherman.
But even adult anglers will pick up some tricks and tips. The ideal plan
is to buy this as a Christmas present for some youngster on your list,
but give yourself time to read it before you wrap it.
The book is published by Clearwater Publishing, an independent publisher
of educational books. It’s available at book stores everywhere, as
well at Amazon.com and other online sites.
