Grug Goes Fishing by Ted Prior

Grug Goes Fishing by Ted Prior is a simple, charming early-reader story featuring everyone’s favourite little grass-tree character—Grug.

In this gentle adventure, Grug decides to try his hand at fishing. Like always, he approaches the task in his own unique, resourceful way, turning a simple outing into a lighthearted lesson in problem-solving and creativity. Things don’t go exactly to plan (as they rarely do for Grug), but that’s where the fun lies.

Ted Prior’s classic storytelling style keeps things easy to follow, with clear illustrations and a calm rhythm that’s perfect for young children building confidence with books. The humour is soft, the pacing is steady, and the message is quietly encouraging—trying new things can be messy, but it’s always worth it.
