Gilbert Goldfish Wants a Pet

32 pp. | Dial | June, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3394-7 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bob Shea. Goldfish Gilbert longs for a pet. A visiting dog is energetic but loud; a neighboring mouse is cute but quiet; a buzzing-by fly is friendly but, sadly, gets swatted (a bit shocking). When all hope seems lost, a twist reveals the perfect pal. The well-paced story, with crisp illustrations, will hook readers into rooting for the endearing, bright-eyed swimmer.
