Take The Kids Fishing; They're Better Than Worms

by Roger Pond

This book is a bundle of tales from the hinterlands of America, each one collected from Pond's Back Forty column, syndicated to newspapers around the country. In School Reform the author recalls the days when nobody mentioned school reform, but reform school was an everyday topic. In Ra-a-alph Pond describes the dreaded fish feeding syndrom - when everyone on the boat seems to be named "Ra-a-alph," and those who aren't sick are busy giving advise. "Look at the horizon." "Don't look down." "Eat a good breakfast." "Don't eat breakfast." "Go to bed early." "Stay up all night." This book is fun reading for anyone with a love of the outdoors or a taste for the country.
