In this nearly wordless book, a boy and his dog go fishing and pull in not a fish but a large letter F. I soon follows, then S. The boy, after reeling in a disappointing letter Q, is then pulled underwater for a mini-adventure. The story's pacing is spot-on, with full pages, spreads, and occasional panel art working together to reel in laughs.
