A Fish Out of Water

A classic, comic easy reader about getting a pet! In this beloved Beginner Book (an early reader series launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with The Cat in the Hat) a young boy hilariously learns the consequences of not following instructions when he feeds too much to his goldfish Otto—causing it to grow as big as a whale! With delightfully retro illustrations by P.D. Eastman (Go, Dog. Go!), the message of the book—that getting a pet is a big responsibility—is as true today as it was when the book was published in 1961. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, this book will encourage a love of reading for any age.
