Illustrated by
Frank Remkiewicz.
The idea of going fishing with Dad for the first time is exciting; the reality is another matter. Piggy finds a couple of details about the sport (skewering worms and fish) troubling; Dad wisely doesn't force the issue. The summery watercolor-and-pencil cartoon illustrations clue listeners into Piggy's emotions and create a bit of tension in the nicely paced story.
