Awesome Reading
I have two children at home who pull Fishing with Foster from the bookshelf everynight to read a story (or 2 or 3) to them. What's fun about the book is that there are several stories in one book, all entertaining and funny. The pictures keep my children enthralled while I'm reading to them. They always want me to read the photo captions over and over. We have recently coupled the book with the Fishingwithfoster.com website. It blends well with the book, and my children have enjoyed tying the two together. The web site is every bit as fun as the book. It's wonderful to have such a fun book and web site that promotes family togetherness and exposes children to an activity they might not otherwise have an opportunity to try.

Fun book to read
My mom is typing this for me because I'm only 5 years old. But when she bought this book for us, I liked reading it. It made me laugh and smile and my daddy's a fisherman and now I know a lot of stuff like him and when we go fishing together I can catch fish too. I like this book because it talks about wearing life jackets, which is good to do especially if you can't swim. It is also funny because Foster tells funny stories about fishing. You should buy this book for your kids.

Great Family Fishing Fun
My mom brought this book home to me and it's a great book. It has a lot of fishing tips and also a lot of pictures, which are fun to look at because it shows pictures of kids my age, which is almost 8. I like the way it was written and I especially like the sayings from other kids about their fishing adventures. It's a great book to read together as a family.

Fishing With Foster is a hit with all the Kids.
Fishing With Foster has everything a kid wants in a book. It has great stories, filled with humor, friendship, adventure, challenge, victory, sportsmanship, tips, safety and more.

Book Description

In this classic bedtime book by Charlotte Zolotow, sleep has never seemed more inviting. Simple, lyrical language reveals a world peacefully asleep -- from bears in their dark caves to caterpillars in their silky cocoons, to dogs lying near someone they love. Stefano Vitale's luminous illustrations evoke the serenity of that moment when "the night comes and the wind whispers gently in the trees and the stars sparkle and shine."

Great!
Both my five year old and three year old love this book. There are some familiar sleepy animals like bears, horses and dogs, but there are also a few that we don't think about very often like moths, cranes and even crickets. The children find it so interesting to see how other animals sleep and then compare it to how little boys and girls sleep. My kids have a hard time "winding down" at night so this is a good transition for them. They also get to see that EVERYBODY sleeps. Also worth noting is that the images are truly beautiful. And I like the fact that while this book reads like a poem, it doesn't rhyme.

It's Time For Bed.....
Every living being sleeps, from the bear in his dark cave, fish among the water ferns, and horses standing up switching their tails, to the snowy crane who sleeps standing on just one leg, turtles inside their shells, seals with their flippers against blocks of ice, and of course little boys and girls. Originally published in 1958, Charlotte Zolotow's Sleepy Book is as fresh and wonderful today as it was over 40 years ago. Her simple, gentle text is full of imagery and magic, and complemented by brand new, evocative illustrations. Artist, Stefano Vitale, has really captured the essence of Ms Zolotow's poetry with engaging pictures of sleeping animals in quiet, subdued tones. Together, word and art create a soothing and comforting bedtime story that will lull little ones off to dreamland. "...but little boys/ and girls,/ when the night/ comes/ and the wind/ whispers gently/ in the trees/ and the stars/ sparkle and shine,/ sleep/ warm under/ their blankets/ in their/ beds."

Best book ever for children,parents and grandparents.
This is one of the best books I have ever read for children of all ages. I read it to my children and now I would like to read it to my grandchildren. My children adored this book and it always put them to sleep at night and made bedtime enjoyable! ... Read more
