Sophie's Fish

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lee White. Jake's classmate Sophie asks if he'll babysit her fish Yo-Yo for the weekend. He agrees--"how hard can it be?"--but second-guesses himself, constructing scenarios for which he'll be unprepared. Jake is adorably neurotic, and the (sort of) twist ending is executed brilliantly. White's illustrations are fascinatingly surreal-looking and subtly hilarious (Herring Potter is on hand for Yo-Yo's bedtime reading).
