A little boy who overfeeds his goldfish begins an adventure that brings even the police and a fire engine to cope with A FISH OUT OF WATER. Beginning readers will delight in this fast moving story. 'I can read it all by myself' is the Beginner Books motto, and behind it is an understanding of how important it is for children to take pride and pleasure in their early reading. Beginner Books have been designed to appeal directly to children through the use of humour, rhyme and bright pictures that can be 'read' even by the non-reading child. Some Beginner Books are simple stories, others are hilarious nonsense: both types have been designed to give children confidence and make them want to go on reading.

Although the story is very old it is highly entertaining. My husband had this book as a child and still remembers it fondly. The 'ending' allows the children to use their own imaginations and encourages them to be creative. The illustrations are wonderful and compliment the story. We enjoy reading this as much as our children enjoy listening to it. We think it will be a good book for the children to read themselves when they are able to read!

This book is still popular with children. The children at my centre love the whole story line. It had been a favourite of mine when I was going to school which is why I purchased it for the childcare centre. Great book!

My favorite childs book, and when we bought a goldfish recently for my son we also purchased a copy of this book. Fabulous story, with a lot of good messages.

My little girl (2yrs) loves this book. I have to read it every bedtime. No trying to hide it. It is a wonderful book, I remember it from when I was little. Everyone should read this to their children.

I love this book. I used to ask my mum to read it to my every night. A great story which can grab any child's imagination, especially those who have goldfish as pets and have the responsilibity for feeding them.

A great book, My child loves the story and the bright simple pictures

I loved this book as a child and continue to love it now!

A timeless story about consequence of action, children will be amazed to see an overfeed fish grow and grow. The illustrations are really the best part as a little boy is forced to find larger containers to house his ever increasing sized fish. This is a story with a moral and soon your child will be reading along with you. Simple and fun.

A funny story about a little boy who overfeeds his pet gold-fish and it grows and grows and grows. Read the story to find out what happens! Its an easy book to read for younger kids and for non-readers the pictures are great to follow the story that is being read to them.

This was one of my favourite books growing up and now my children love it just as much we read it all the time they just love watching the fish grow bigger and bigger it is so fasinating for all children. When children are just starting out reading on their own this is a great one especially if they are into fish most kids would find this book as fascinating and funny as my kids and I do
