Tucked in bed at night a young girl is filled with excitement about the fishing trip her family has planned for the next day. She runs through a mental list of the special fishing clothes they'll wear and the equipment they'll carry, the animals they'll hear and plants they'll see on their walk through the woods to reach their canoe, and then all the birds and fish they'll encounter once they reach the lake. All the exuberance of a child's anticipation of good times ahead are deftly expressed in text and pictures which make this family fishing trip approriately idealized. (Ages 3-6)

Vacationing in the country, a child anticipates tomorrow's activities, from fishing in Rocky Pond to walking in the woods and observing animals.
