Fishing stories for little ones are not very common, and "Granddad's Fishing Buddy" nicely addresses this deficiency. It is a simple yet heartwarming story about a little girl who goes on a fishing trip with her grandpa, and is eager to know the identity of Grandpa's yet-to-be seen fishing buddy. When the reader eventually guesses at the identity of the fishing buddy, it is a rather cute revelation. The heartwarming story is enhanced by the beautiful illustrations by Stephane Jorisch. Obviously, this is a great read for grandfather and child, but it is also a perfect read-aloud for preschoolers and up.

As a sportsman, I have had a hard time finding books about hunting and fishing for my three-year-old daughter. No luck on a hunting book so far, but this is a great little story about a girl fishing with her granddad. The length of the story is just right, and the artwork is good.

Maybe because I had a grandfather that was my buddy, or maybe because the story is cheery and well written--my 5-year-old girl and I loved reading this book together. And now she wants to try fishing with her grandpa. But she says she'll steer clear of the worms too.
