The ‘Tales for Big Feelings’ series

Reg Goes Swimming has continued on to a three book series featuring Reg, a curious bear whose name rhymes with egg. Reg Takes a Trip (September 2024) and Reg Catches a Salmon (April 2025) complete the Tales for Big Feelings series.

Reg Catches a Salmon

Reg Catches a Salmon

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. But when his big sister Co-co tells him that today she’s going to teach him to catch a salmon, Reg becomes worried about learning something new. His heart beats louder, his muscles clench up, everything aches. He doesn’t know how to catch a salmon, and what if he just CAN’T?

Co-co reminds Reg to breathe and relax his body, and soon 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. Reg Catches a Salmon is now out in bookstores as of April 8th, 2025!
