Ethan Crownberry’s new children’s book is reminiscent of the old Dr. Seuss rhymes that have charmed children and adults alike for generations.Ethan’s books have the same delightful qualities and are surely destined to go a long way in their own right.With the wit of a dedicated author and the sensitivity of a renowned poet his story literally dances across the pages.
When a young goldfish is bought from a pet store and brought home only to be placed in a tiny cramped bowl; then completely ignored by the man who purchased him, the little fish begins to pine for greater things.Why had he been left alone, why was he here with no one to care?His begging and pleading falls on deaf ears as no one appears to feed him or change his water bowl.
As the darkened shadows of evening begin to fill the small room with gloom, the fish has all but given up on being rescued from his dire fate.Suddenly a bright light shines through the window and falls on the tiny fish in his tiny fishbowl.A star has appeared in the heavens near his window and has come to grant the unhappy fish a wish.
A whole new world of possibilities has opened up to our little fish friend as he ponders his first wish.But as the night wears on, the little fish becomes more and more unhappy with each new wish that he is granted.Finally the star has had enough and tells the fish he will give him one more chance and one more wish.But the star doesn’t grant the wish before warning the fish to think long and hard on what he wants to waste his final wish before the star returns the following evening.So the fish is left alone to think about his plight and what it would take to make him truly happy.
You will want to share this delightful story with your children and find out what lesson the little fish learns when he makes his final wish.Ethan Crownberry has written a wonderfully entertaining story that teaches children how to care about others.
