Not Norman: A Goldfish Story
Not Norman: A Goldfish Story
By Author: Kelly Bennett
Illustrator: Noah Z. Jones
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. But when he tries to trade Norman for a "good pet," things don't go as he planned. Could it be that Norman is a better pet than he thought?
