No a Norman

"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 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!
