Stead, Philip C. The Only Fish in the Sea Illustrated by Matthew Cordell PICTURE BOOK
Roaring Brook Press, 2017.
Content: G.
Little Amy Scott is a
spoiled little girl who receives a goldfish for her birthday. Amy Scott thinks goldfish are boring and
dumps her goldfish (in his plastic bag) into the ocean. When Sadie hears about this injustice she
borrows a boat, gathers supplies and heads out to look for the fish with her friend Sherman. Eventually they rescue the fish and put him
in the town fountain where the fish has many visitors.
Amy Scott on the other hand will have to
spend her birthday alone.
This book is
funny and it begins before the title page. I loved the moral of being grateful for what you receive. The illustrations are a bit messy and busy,
but the ideas portrayed are humorous and fun.
