"Grandfather and Thomas, who [first] appeared in Storm in the Night, return in a liberally illustrated beginning chapter book. They begin the day by fishing for trout, and finish it with a game of cards (Go fish) and a story. Stolz evokes the spirit of childhood with graceful descriptions and metaphor." ?SLJ. "A graceful, quiet story that celebrates the richness of human relationships." ?H. <P> <awards> Notable 1991 Children's Trade Books in Social Studies (NCSS/CBC)<br>100 Books for Reading and Sharing 1991 (NY Public Library)</awards>
