Book 37.025, 2022
Apr. 27th, 2022 07:10 pmMy co-worker Shandra, who has littles, kept telling me how cute the book Memoirs of a Goldfish, by Devin Scillian, was. Today, she brought it to the office for me to read. Ahem. Without further ado, here is my book review:
Story is told in first-person point of view from the unnamed goldfish. His days consist of swimming around his bowl, and life is okay. Then, he gets a new roommate, Mr Bubbles. Before he knows it, the goldfish has other aquatic life sharing his bowl, from Mervin the snail to Rhoda and Clark, the guppies. It gets so crowded that he cannot even turn around, and he wishes he had the bowl to himself again.
The goldfish gets his wish...but now he finds himself worrying about the others. Won't Cha-Cha, the angelfish, need him to help her with sunscreen? Who will help Rhoda and Clark take care of their baby guppies? The goldfish starts to cry, but then he's scooped up and deposited into a nice, large aquarium with the rest of his friends. Best of all, there's another goldfish in there, and she's very pretty.
A cute story for children, with a more serious message for adults about how we really do need one another.
Favorite line: I thought about taking a nap.
Four stars!
:D
