Not Norman: A Goldfish Story

Product features

Norman the goldfish isn't what this little boy had in mind. He wanted a different kind of pet - one that could run and catch, or chase string and climb trees, a soft furry pet to sleep on his bed at night. Definitely not Norman. But when he tries to trade Norman for a "good pet," things don't go as planned: After cleaning Norman's bowl, rescuing him from puppies, and noticing that Norman listens to him talk and even quiets his fear of night noises, he realizes that there is no pet he would rather have.

With wry humor and lighthearted affection, this sweet, unexpected fish tale is about finding the good in something you didn't know you wanted.
