"My goldfish is the strongest goldfish in the world." An offstage narrator describes his/her pet's qualities. Each statement is illustrated with a sight gag in the simply composed paintings ("[My fish] often forgets where he lives" shows the pet swimming in a glass of water). The book may disappoint readers expecting a story but should delight those impressed by sophisticated visual comedy.
