Tomorrow on Rocky Pond (Hardcover)

by Lynn Reiser (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Bundled in her cabin bed but resisting sleep, a travel-weary youngster anticipates the rituals to be enacted on tomorrow's fishing trip: breakfasting on blueberries, packing the gear, hiking through the woods, picnicking, napping on the moss, swimming--oh yes, and canoeing out to the pond to hook a trout. Reiser manages to compress the sense of an entire summer into a single day. Her bright watercolor and ink illustrations determinedly add cheer to a straightforward, unadorned text. From the early morning mists hovering over the water to firefly lights eerily puncturing the black night, the quiet story rides without friction on rising expectation. Those who hanker for the woods and lakes will find their reminiscences and yearnings delightfully documented as Reiser proves that no one is too young for nostalgia. Ages 3-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relates well to an outdoor lifestyle!, November 2, 1998

By A Customer

My not quite 3 year old loves this book! For any family that spends time hiking and camping this is truely a delightful story. Captures well all the little things kids love and remember about such trips. Lots of great details both in words and pictures -- a list of all the hiking & fishing gear, the names of birds and rabbits and ducks and trees etc. Yet not tedious, nice flowing rythm. Seems to include all that is familiar with our families Alaskan and NW outdoor experiences (accept bears!). Also a good introduction to the concept of "tomorrow" for the younger set. My daughter especially loves the part when the rock stands up "whoosh" and is really a moose!
