A charming Nature Storybook all about looking after goldfish – inspired by the author's own pet fish.My Pet Goldfish is a delightful picture book with facts by the Greenaway Medal-winning author-illustrator Catherine Rayner. The child narrating this story has been given their first ever pet: a tiny fish with shimmering scales and bright beady eyes… Their very own goldfish! Sitting alongside the gentle narrative and dynamic illustrations, the subtext introduces facts about goldfish and their care – some gentle, some funny, some fascinating – making this a perfect choice for first-time owners.

This is a book to be shared, relished, and revisited with children from 4-8 or 9 who will enjoy the heart-warming story of Richard as well as discovering a great deal about goldfish in general. ? The English Association, ages 4-11
