One Frozen Lake

By Deborah Jo Larson

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL PRESS, $16.95

Larson’s new hardcover children’s book tells the story of a grandfather and grandson and their ice fishing trip. Really, the book is more about the ambiance than the fishing, though its plot centers around the question: Will they catch a fish? It’s the author’s first picture book, though she has written for an online children’s magazine. Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher illustrated the colorful book. They have collaborated on many children’s books, including Dr. Seuss’s My Many Colored Days and Garrison Keillor’s Cat, You Better Come Home. The pictures do as much to share the magic of ice fishing, through a child’s perspective, as Larson’s writing. One Frozen Lake would probably go a long way for any parent hoping to turn their young child onto ice fishing. — Javier Serna
