Ladybug Nominee Profile

The simple, calm existence of a goldfish is disrupted by the introduction of a lot of companions. He doesn't like it one bit! Or does he? You will have to read the book and hear his thoughts as events unfold. Devin Scillian has written (would that be fish-written?) and Tim Bowers has illustrated these Memoirs of a Goldfish. The pictures bring the trauma of overcrowding vividly to life, and are delightful in their detail. I especially love the beach umbrella.

This is one of the ten titles nominated for the 2011 Ladybug Picture Book Award
