Not Norman

"A sweet story that could be used as a springboard to discussion of the pitfalls of making snap judgments about pets or people." SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL 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. Definitely not Norman. 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? With wry humor and lighthearted affection, author Kelly Bennett and illustrator Noah Z. Jones tell an unexpected and positively fishy tale about finding the good in something you didn't know you wanted.Bennett, Kelly is the author of 'Not Norman', published 2008 under ISBN 9780763627638 and ISBN 0763627631.
