Not Norman

<p><b>A sweet story that could be used as a springboard to discussion of the pitfalls of making snap judgments about pets - or people. &#151; <i>School Library Journal</i></b><br><br>Norman the goldfish isn&#146;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&#146;t go as he planned. Could it be that Norman is a better pet than he thought? <br><br>With wry humor and lighthearted affection author Kelly Bennett and illustrator Noah Z. Jones tell an unexpected - and positively fishy - tale about finding the good in something you didn&#146;t know you wanted.</p>
