Ice Fishing

November 1, 2011

Gr 5-8-Similar to the "Hunting: Pursuing Wild Game!" series (Rosen Central), each book in this set begins by covering the basics of a particular type of fishing. Readers will learn about the differences between fishing for bass or catfish and where to find their habitats. Details about catch-and-release practices, rules and regulations, and how to prepare different types of fish for eating are delineated. Catfish includes a simple recipe. All of the books provide safety advice, such as staying alert to changing weather conditions and being careful around other anglers. The various chapters about fishing and the environment are especially laudatory. Both genders are portrayed in the text and in the color photographs, working with environmental organizations and supporting their favorite sport. Useful updates where fishing is popular.
