THE LITTLE FISH THAT GOT AWAY

A little boy goes fishing every day, but he never catches anything–no, not a single fish. So he waits and waits and waits, until one special day when a fish comes swimming by....

Illustrated by the incomparable Crockett Johnson, this simple, engaging story about a little boy and a clever fish was a hit with young readers–and young fishermen–when it was first published in 1957. This enticing new edition is certain to hook new fans!

Customer Reviews

I can't believe I found it.
I'm 35 years old and this was my favorite book as a child. I've looked high and low thinking that it was a Crockett Johnson book, because of the unique drawings. Turns out, he only illustrated it.

This is an easy read for beginning readers and a great story-time book for the younger ones. What a great time we live in that a person can go on a computer and find several copies of a book that was last printed in 1969. It would've taken me years to find it in book stores. Thank you Amazon.

An excellent beginner book!
I remember my mother reading this book to me and recently found it to read to my children. THEY LOVE IT!!! It is full of repetition and has a great predictable storyline. The illustrations are tri-color and wonderful. I highly recommend this book!

I bought this hard to find book for my son and my grandchildren. It was my son's favorite book when he was young and now my grandchildren are now enjoying it. This book has brought many good memories in my life.
