Description
Day One
I swam around my bowl.
Day Two
I swam around my bowl. Twice.
And so it goes in this tell-all tale from a goldfish.
With his bowl to himself and his simple routine, Goldfish loves his life…until one day…
When assorted intruders including a hyperactive bubbler, a grime-eating snail, a pair of amorous guppies, and a really crabby crab invade his personal space and bowl, Goldfish is put out, to say the least. He wants none of it, preferring his former peace and quiet and solitude.
But time away from his new companions gives him a chance to rethink the pros and cons of a solitary life. And discover what he’s been missing.

Ok, so this isn’t a memoir, but how cute is that? The title sounds like it was based on Memoirs of a Geisha…love it!
I JUST saw this in our school Scholastic book order newsletter! SO must have it, now that I know what it is! I love it!
I was browsing through Amazon for new memoirs when it popped up and I just thought the concept was adorable.
Awfully cute idea! I love hearing about new kid’s books.
Cute premise!
How cute! sounds wonderful.
