Dogfish by Gillian Shields


Adam received this from a friend a few weeks ago......it is hilarious!! "Everyone has a dog...except ME!" As the young boy tries to explain to his mother he NEEDS a dog...his mom uses some of her best lines, like: "Well, if you can't have what you want, you could try to want what you have." The young boy then decides to teach his fish how to be....a DOG! He teaches him to catch a tiny stick, take him for a walk, etc. I plan to use this book with my kindergartners/ 1st graders in our "pet" unit. I know my kids will love the ridiculousness of the boy treating his FISH like a dog!
