About the Book

In this book, a little girl named Karly, tells of her experiences fishing with her Daddy. She tells of family members who sometimes go with them, and the odd names of places they fish. Children may notice that Karly listens and learns, from the things Daddy tells her. Almost every page has a quote of something "Daddy says". She describes the wind on her face, while boat riding and feeling safe sitting close to Daddy when fishing after dark, in spite of the sounds of "critters crawling through the grass". She even confesses to keeping Daddy busy baiting her hook, and removing the "icky, slippery" fish, she catches. As a bonus, the back cover features pictures of fish, with common and scientific names.

About the Author

Karla Carter Moreland was born and lived most of her life in Oklahoma. She is married and has two adult daughters, Elizabeth and Scarlett. Scarlett, who has illustrated other picture books, provided the illustrations for "Fishing With Daddy". Karla and her husband, Mike live in a rural area near Edmond, Oklahoma with their two dogs and two cats. She enjoys reading, gardening and visits with her grandchildren, Emma, Jonathan and Karston. This book is a dream fulfilled, and a tribute to her daddy. Born on his birthday, she describes her childhood-self, as his little shadow, and often underfoot. She says that the fishing trips were just one of the ways her parents demonstrated their love and thus, earned the devotion of all six of their children. She hopes the book will inspire other parents to spend time in similar activities with their children.
