Goffstein's Caldecott Honor story of a grandmother and her regular routine in summer: waking at five o'clock in the morning to make the most of a day on the lake, "with cans of worms and minnows, some fruit for lunch, bobbers, lines, hooks, and sinkers." Delightfully and wittily, Goffstein departs from the usual fisherman's tale to give us a day in the life of this no-nonsense, patient fisherwoman who catches "sunfish, crapper, perch, and sometimes a big northern pike," who capably cleans her catch, and who can bake to boot. She relishes every bite of her well-earned supper, and the pleasure she takes in her self-sufficiency and graceful work becomes the reader's as well. Based on Goffstein's own childhood summers at her grandparents' house on Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, Fish for Supper transforms her indelible memories into a story that is as honed and gratifying as its heroine's days. Originally published in New York by Dial Press in 1976. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Condition: Fine in very good plus jacket. dj. First edition. First printing of this charmingly minimalist story of a little old lady's day fishing. M. B. Goffstein imbued her children's books with her personality - editor Susan Barba reflects that Goffstein "found the right art form, the right structure and patterning, to distill her life experience [.] she managed to compress an entire philosophy into a single line - or two lines rather, the line of the drawing and the line of the text." Her skillful combination of story and image earned her a Caldecott Honor in 1977 for FISH FOR SUPPER, among other accolades. 6'' x 7''. Original orange cloth boards. Original unclipped ($4.95) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in black and white. [32] pages. Jacket with mild edgewear, a bit of sunning to spine. Sharp.…
