When I Caught You

As the moon still hung above the treetops, Dad Bear gently woke his little fisherman to set out on a grand adventure. They always took the long way around the mountain, but when they finally arrived to their fishing spot, the fish weren’t bitin’ a bit. When they were ready to pack up their things, Dad Bear declared it “a wonderful day!” which confused Little Bear. How could it be a wonderful day? They didn’t catch a single fish! So Dad Bear teaches Little Bear a valuable life lesson. Just because they didn’t catch any fish didn’t mean it was a bad day. They spent time enjoying the wonders of the world. They got to see the majesty of the mountains, and hear the song of the cicadas. But most of all they got to spend time TOGETHER. When I Caught You is a sweet story that teaches readers that sometimes it’s not about how many fish you catch, but the memories you made along the way.­
