About this product

Product Information

A classic, comic easy reader about getting a pet! In this beloved Beginner Book written by Mrs . Dr. Seuss (aka Helen Palmer), a young boy hilariously learns the consequences of not following instructions when he feeds too much to his goldfish--causing it to grow as big as a whale! With delightfully retro illustrations by P.D. Eastman ( Go, Dog. Go! ), the message of the book--that getting a pet is a big responsibility--is as true today as it was when the book was published in 1961. Perfect for beginning readers and read-alouds--and anyone getting a pet, especially a fish--it's ideal for birthdays, holidays, and happy occasions of all kinds! Launched in 1957 with The Cat in the Hat and written specifically for emergent readers, Beginner Books combine an exacting blend of simple words and fun pictures that encourage children to read--all by themselves. "Comic pictures show how the fish rapidly outgrows its bowl, a vase, a cook pot, a bathtub."-- The New York Times.

Good value for the money.
Bought this as a present for my youngest. I'm having all her teachers from kindergarten all the way up to 12 grade sign it, and I'll give it to her as a graduation present. So, as a used book, it was in really good condition. There were a few marks throughout the book but since her teachers are writing in it, it wasn't that big of a deal. Also, the stickers that were on it easily came off. Good value for the price. I recommend.Bought this as a present for my youngest.

Great book!
This is a very cute story about what happens when a little boy feeds his new fish too much food. It carefully teaches the importance of listening to instructions without any real harm coming to the fish. My 2 yr old has become fixated on "the Otto book" and has me retell the story even without the book!

Top 10 favorite childhood book!
Just like I remembered it. I purchased this book a couple weeks ago, after my nephew got a new goldfish, and the fishy sparked my memory. Its a book I always looked for at garage sales & such, yet could never find. I received it today and immediately read it to my nephew. It made me feel like I was 5yrs old again, just like him. I hope he liked/likes it enough to have it on his top 10 list when he is 30 something! I'm so happy to have found this book again! Others: A Fly Went By, Berenstain Bears Great Honey Hunt, Big Ball of String, Robert the Rosehorse, Sammy the Seal, Horton Hatches the Egg.....to name a few.Just like I remembered it.

The perfect book of what pet ownership means
This book is a classic to be added to every household. It teaches about reasons for following directions, and effects of caring too much and not abiding by given instruction. The depths the kid goes through to care for his pet are valuable to everyone and shows that a little goldfish is more important than most believe.
