(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Taylor. Everyone else has a dog, a young boy laments, while all he has is a goldfish. After pleading several times with his mother to get a dog of his own, he takes her advice to "want what you have" and sees in his goldfish the pet he always wanted. The digital illustrations have a friendly, nostalgic feel that echoes the message.
