A Fishing Story For My Grandson
Children's books can entertain and teach children. Entertaining and teaching my grandson is something I love to do. Once in a while, I get creative and make him a book. Well, writing and illustrating a book for him has happened only twice, but I would like to share this last one with you. It features my grandson, his Paw Paw, and Paw Paw's dog, Duchess.
I love reading this story to him and his friends!
In the story, the three of them go on a fishing trip; my grandson narrates...
From The Cover To The End
Gonna Catch A Big One
Art files are used to show you the book except for the last page of artwork; it's a photograph of the actual book I printed for him.
Enjoy!

Don't you just love to entertain children?
Read them stories? Maybe make up stories for them, too?
This children's book was a labor of love...
The other book I wrote for my grandson now exists only through one copy that I printed on photo paper, the glossy kind, and then bound with tape and staples. About The End Page
As a little girl, I always disliked reading a book and coming to the page that read, “The End.” It was so final.
So, with this book, my end page reads, “The End of this particular story at this particular time.”
When I read the end page to my grandson in 2006 for the first time, he whipped his head around to look at me; the amused twinkle in his eyes told me that he knows what the sentence means. :)His mother is keeping it safe for him.
This one, Gonna Catch A Big One, might be available in hardback to anyone with a desire to purchase it (so far, I haven't found a desirable way to do this). Also, I want to offer a free download for you to print out and bind for yourself and the little “fisherchildren” in your life (still working on this setup as well).
Thank you for stopping by. My grandson and I would like to know what you think about Gonna Catch A Big One. Your comments are welcome.

- I forgot to mention that another option would be Amazon Publishing. I have a friend who went through them an' the results were amazing... no pun intended. You may even wish to add more stories for your grandson before combining them all to be bound together.

- What a darling story you wrote for your grandson. Gonna Catch A Big One is just the right length an' just the right kinda' story to bring you, your grandson an' Paw Paw closer. An' it's a treasure that your grandson will always know was made just for him. Have you considered laminating an' binding your book with the use of a spiral binder? I think the best would be the kind that make the plastic binds. Another option is to use The Cinch, a wire binding machine. Good luck. I'd love to be able to get a copy to read to my grandies.
