“The off-the-cuff yet kidlike prose ideally suits the bright, crisp digital drawings. . . . Readers will cheer the birth of a beautiful friendship.” — Publishers Weekly
Norman, el pececito dorado, no era precisamente lo que este niño esperaba. Él quería una mascota diferente, una que pudiera correr y jugar, trepar a los árboles y correr detrás de cosas divertidas; una mascota suave y peluda que pudiera dormir junto a él en su cama. No a Norman. Pero cuando decide cambiarlo por otra mejor, se da cuenta de algo: ¿será que Norman es mejor compañero de lo que él había pensado?
Norman the goldfish isn’t what this little boy had in mind. He wanted a different kind of pet—one that could run and catch, a soft, furry pet to sleep on his bed at night. Definitely not Norman. But when he tries to trade Norman for a “good pet,” things don’t go as he planned. With wry humor and lighthearted affection, author Kelly Bennett and illustrator Noah Z. Jones tell an unexpected—and positively fishy—tale about finding the good in something you didn’t know you wanted. Now in Spanish!
