This is an illustrated story about the one that got away. It's a tale of a young boy with hopes of catching the legend that no one has ever caught-but the story has a twist. For the fish named Walter is busy collecting his own fishing tales and souvenirs. . .poles, lures, hats, knives, boots, from a lifetime of fishing men. This beautifully illustrated book presents the sport and mystery and fun of fishing in a very positive light. It portrays the fish not as a victim or a target, but as the master of the game.who enjoys it as well as anyone, and sets his own rules. From an adult view, it presents fishing as a metaphor for life, touching on perseverance, respect, being true to one's self, and listening to the inner voice. Covering a span of years, the story presents the idea of change and growth as a natural part of life, making it a great story for parents or grandparents to read to children. With full-color illustrations on each page and the story told in rhyming verse, children will also have great fun following the story on their own.
