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!
