Seven hours pass.,Not one fish.,Has anyone seen a fish?,On the surface, it might seem like ice fishing,Â with its hours in a tiny shack awaiting anÂ elusive crappie or pike, would not be a greatÂ match for kids. However, as scores of grandparentsÂ and parents know, this unique northernÂ pastime holds special magic for a child.,One Frozen Lake, tells the story of a grandfatherÂ and grandchild on several ice-fishingÂ adventures. Ramshackle ice towns sprout up.Â Ice shack neighbors share piping-hot cocoaÂ and humorous stories. Eye-catching lures andÂ jigs dance at the end of the fishing line. AndÂ mysterious, silvery ice tunnels connect theÂ community above with the one below.Â ,Will they ever catch a fish? PerhapsÂ thatâ€™s beside the point.,Deborah Jo Larsonâ€™s engaging narrative,Â a celebration of her childhood spent on frozenÂ lakes, comes alive with appealing scenesÂ expertly crafted by award-winning childrenâ€™sÂ book artists Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher,Â who create shimmering worlds above andÂ below the ice. ,One Frozen Lake, tells of a traditionÂ being passed from one generation toÂ the next, a tradition that encourages spendingÂ unhurried time together sharing winterâ€™sÂ giftsâ€”and creating precious memories thatÂ last long after the ice melts.,This is ,Deborah Jo Larsonâ€™s, first picture book. Her fiction has appeared in ,Stories for Children,Â online magazine. ,Steve Johnson, and ,Lou Fancher ,have collaborated on over thirty books forÂ children, including Dr. Seussâ€™s ,My Many Colored Days, and Garrison Keillorâ€™s ,Cat, You BetterÂ Come Home,.
