Clean that old fish tank out!

The ideal book for any dog lover, who just doesnt have the space, the time or is allergy confined thus prohibiting raising a dog. The book gives children cause to rally around the good old fish tank. Great illustrations and great fun for that family read night.

A Fish Named Spot definitely hits the spot!

"A Fish Named Spot" is one of those rare and wonderful books that is both simply beautiful and beautifully unique. The main character is a young boy who cannot keep a dog because of his allergies, but he soon discovers (as does the reader!) that there is no end to the imaginative adventures he can have with a pet fish. The story will surprise and delight you (adults included!), and the book is filled with amazing and colorful illustrations. Keep an eye out for great details in the illustrations, and don't miss the opportunities for fun sound effects! A perfect gift for everyone: adults will love reading it, kids will love hearing it, and everyone will love looking at it.
