Reg is a bear whose name rhymes with EGG. Reg wakes up one fine summer morning with his head full of possibilities: swimming, berry picking, fishing for minnows. Then his big sister Co-co tells him that today she’s going to teach him to catch a salmon. Reg’s heart beats louder, his muscles clench up, everything aches. He doesn’t know how to catch a salmon. What if he just CAN’T? Co-co reminds him to breathe and relax his body.

The pair find a quiet pool, and the lesson begins. Reg Catches a Salmon, the latest in the Tales for Big Feelings series, guides readers through the challenge of learning new, hard things and the joy of trying and trying again.
