A little goldfish who is tired of being cute and tiny dreams of becoming a big, ferocious shark, until he frightens away all the children and realizes that it is much better to be a goldfish." This description may be from another edition of this product.
It's theatric, dramatic, and our favorite book. I teach 4 year old preschoolers, and this is there absolute favorite book. I don't even have to read it to them any more. I flip the page and they act out the story. They even know what melodrama means. It's a wonderful way to end story time. I wish there were more books in this series.
quite awesome

This book barely has any words, but (read with theatrics) it is the best book ever. Both my kids adore for me to read it to them. They like it so much we all take turns reading it to each other; we spend more time on this book than average. Since there aren't many words, even my two year old has it memorized by now and "reads" it to us. I'm really surprised this book is out of print. It makes me wonder if someone just didn't market it well...Out of hundreds of children's books that we own, it's my daughter's favorite; she makes me read it over and over. The companion "Mouse's Reality Check" pales a little next to "Fishy Melodrama", but my daughter recognizes that it is a mate and she demands both books now. I wish I could find more "I'm sick of it" series books.
This Fishy Melodrama Is OFISHially Great!

This is the best book yet. It makes you laugh every time you read it. It has the cutest moral and makes you so happy to just be YOU. Kids of all ages can enjoy this book.
