Bookroo's summary
On a frozen lake, Odie dreams of a big catch, while Milton doubts any fish are near. As they fish, their contrasting views clash and blend, leading to unexpected friendship. When Milton accidentally hooks Odie's line, the day takes a surprising turn. Will their differing attitudes bring them closer or drive them apart? This charming tale explores patience, expectation, and the joys of unexpected companionship.
From the publisher
When faced with a challenge—or a super cold morning—Milton grumbles and Odie sees the bright side. Whiling away the hours at their respective fishing holes, neither Milton nor Odie get even the tiniest nibble . . . until Milton snags Odie’s pole. But does that mean fishing is over?
On facing pages, Milton and Odie approach life with contrasting attitudes. Milton’s sure there isn’t a fish for miles, but Odie embraces the joy of anticipation, imagining that a bigmouth bass will be along any minute.
Sweetly simple illustrations reveal the ups and downs of patience and expectation in this fish story about the one that didn’t get away.
