Gilbert Goldfish quer um animal de estimação – Brochura

The paperback is sturdy enough for small hands to flip on their own, and the story about the goldfish meeting odd animals keeps my nephew asking for it again. It’s a bit wordy for a 3-year-old, but fine for a 4- or 5-year-old.

My three-year-old giggles every time Gilbert meets a new animal, and the sturdy paperback has survived at least a dozen read-alouds already. It’s a sweet, simple story about friendship that actually holds her attention past the first page.

My 3-year-old absolutely loves following Gilbert’s search for a friend; the illustrations are so bright and engaging that she asks to read it every night. The story about finding the right companion is simple enough for her to understand, yet it’s sparked great conversations about friendship.
