I imagine that for many kids, their first pet is a goldfish in a small bowl. For me that was the case, and my first responsibility for caring for a pet was to feed the goldfish once a day. In the story "Fishin' a Bowl," the pet goldfish has a pleasant life, swimming around and having fun hiding behind his rock, with nary a care in the world. That is, until the family got a cat, and the little goldfish's carefree life was threatened. But the goldfish was pretty smart, and he figured out a clever way to befriend the cat.It's a cute story for youngsters, written in rhyme with colorful illustrations that complement the story nicely. It's short enough and engaging enough to make good bedtime reading for toddlers through about the first grade.
