Based on many true stories, "A Bad Day Fishing" is the adventurous tale of Jack and Bud, a young boy and his pup. The pair sets off for a day of fishing and encounters mishaps and muddy mayhem along the way. It's enough to make anyone want to give up, but not Jack - and not when there are fish to be caught!

Readers will delight in the colorful illustrations of this lyrical story as they learn from Jack how the right attitude and enough grit can help them overcome challenges and still have fun. (After all, that's what fishing is all about!)
