A young boy and his grandfather row out onto Carter's Pond to catch the monstrous Argyle. Casting a frog lure the boy hopes to hook every fisherman's dream of landing the big fish no one has ever seen. Something grabs the line and he finds himself in an unexpected bind.
Stories have often been told
of a beast that never roared.
Of a slippery slimy serpent
that swims deep beneath the current.
Many have cast a pointy hook.
Yet, no one has ever gotten a good look.
Will today be his lucky day
or will the big one get away?
An energetically rhyming Children's Picture Book with a strong, 'You can do it' message. This larger-than-life fish story is an adventure children 2 to 7 years of age will be excited to read as well as their parents and grandparents. The vibrant illustrations bring the nature at the pond to life, and the action jumps out of the water. Does grandpa's tacklebox have the right bait and will his advice float or sink? Hold onto that fishing rod, there is going to be a fight. It has been said that only one person can ever be the first to hook the monstrous legend. Will it be today? Maybe the true gift of fishing isn't always found in the net.
