A Good Day’s Fishing, by James Prosek, Simon & Schuster, Inc, 1230 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020, 2004, $15.95 hardcover.

By M.L. Natale

A Good Day’s Fishing, James Prosek’s first children’s book, is beautifully illustrated with the author’s own gentle watercolors. An adorable book for the little fisherman in your life, it identifies a variety of lures, weights and fish as a child searches his tackle box for his most important fishing item.

Prosek wrote this book because fishing was such an important part of his young life that he wanted to fill the void in children’s literature with a “good book on fishing.”

James Prosek is a leading expert on fly-fishing and a popular writer in that area. He has written five books on fishing and has articles frequently published in the New York Times.
