very nice message ... like what you have, don't always think you need something else.

I love the lesson learned..(love)and want what you already have. Goldfish is a perfectly good pet but that doesn't stop the boy from wanting a dog that they cannot have. Since I go through this a lot with the kids I watch I think I should read it daily.

I picked this book up on a whim solely based on the cover and the cute illustrations. My children enjoy looking at the dogs and fish and my three year old likes the story. (I think.) My one year old just likes the dogs. :D
Funny and sweet, the best line of the books is, "Well, if you can't have what you want, you could try to want what you have."
Sound advice, if you ask me, for any age!

Cute and funny, good amount of text, great illustrations, love the voice of the narrator. Will use for pet storytime, although I'll make sure to ask questions like "do you think you could really teach a fish to fetch a stick?" and "do golfish really eat table scraps?". 3+

A little boy learns to love his gold fish when he cannot have a dog. He figures if he can’t have a dog, maybe he can treat his fish like a dog. And it works.
