Books like A Fish Out of Water

This is perhaps my most special read of this year. Why? Because this is the first book that my daughter, Shrija, read aloud to me. As parents, we are used to reading to our kids but when the favour is returned, believe me it is an experience far sweeter than any other in this world!The story is about a little boy who buys a fish as a pet and is warned not to overfeed it. However, children will remain children and do what they are specifically told not to do. So this boy feeds the fish more than is necessary and the fish starts growing big. What happens next to the boy and the fish is told in such a beautiful manner, with such wonderful illustrations that it made for a perfect read with my daughter. However, the best part of the story was my daughter pausing after every page and explaining the story to me. I am one proud mother today and an extremely happy one too. Here's looking forward to some great buddy reads with my daughter in the future. :) :) All five stars go to Shrija for making my day a perfect one :) :)
