16,94 €
Selected as a Caldecott Honor Book in 1977, and now back in print for the first time in a decade, this is a charming picture book about a grandmother and her simple, idyllic daily routine. Fish for Supper is M.B. Goffstein&rsquo s Caldecott Honor story of a grandmother and her regular routine in summer: waking at five o&rsquo clock in the morning to make the most of a day on the lake, &ldquo with cans of worms and minnows, some fruit for lunch, bobbers, lines, hooks, and sinkers.&rdquo Delightfully and wittily, Goffstein departs from the usual fisherman&rsquo s tale to give us a day in the life of this no-nonsense, patient fisherwoman who catches &ldquo sunfish, crapper, perch, and sometimes a big northern pike,&rdquo who capably cleans her catch, and who can bake to boot. She relishes every bite of her well-earned supper, and the pleasure she takes in her self-sufficiency and graceful work becomes the reader&rsquo s as well. Based on Goffstein&rsquo s own childhood summers at her grandparents&rsquo house on Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, Fish for Supper transforms her indelible memories into a story that is as honed and gratifying as its heroine&rsquo s days.
