Goldfish on Vacation by Sally Lloyd-Jones
From a New York Times bestselling author and a rising-star illustrator comes a humorous tale based on an amazing-but-true story about the summer a city fountain was used as a goldfish pond. H, Little O, and Baby Em are stuck in the city for the summer with only their pet goldfish--Barracuda, Patch, and Fiss--for company. It's looking like it might be a pretty boring vacation, but one day, something exciting happens. Someone starts fixing up the old fountain down the street--the one Grandpa says horses used to drink from before everyone had cars--and a sign appears: Calling All Goldfish Looking for a Summer Home. H, Little O, and Baby Em can't wait to send their goldfish on vacation, and the fish, well, they seem pretty excited too. Based on the true story of Hamilton Fountain in New York City, this charming tale of one special summer will delight readers young and old. Author's Note included. Praise for How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister by Sally Lloyd-Jones:This book is adorable, original, well-illustrated and fabulous. --The New York Times Praise for Jackrabbit McCabe and the Electric Telegraph, illustrated by Leo Espinosa:
Espinosa creates colorful, dynamic images that burst from the page. --Booklist
