Henry Goes Fishing - Paperback

by Kathy Smart (Author)

Henry Goes Fishing is the story of Henry, an impatient boy who wants to have the things he wants now. At the top of Henry's wish list is a pet. He tries to lure many pets into his life, but even his most carefully made plans do not work out. His mother even tells him that he is not ready to have a pet because she does not believe that he is ready to take care of one. Then, one day, while fishing with his grandfather, Henry's life takes a wonderful, unexpected change, and that is when he begins to learn the virtue of being patient.
