Not Norman: A Goldfish Story
By Kelly Bennett
An unexpected -- and positively fishy -- tale about finding the good in something you didn't know you wanted.
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, or chase string and climb trees, 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 according to plan. Could it be that Norman is a better pet than he thought?
- Teaches children the danger of judging on appearances alone.
