* the rest of the goldfish died, the oldest being at least 13

This little kid's non-fiction book was part of the Barnyard Friends series from 1995. Although there's not much text, it was amusing to see that the book had not just one, but TWO editors. Another Goodreads reviewer complained that this was boring, bu ...more |
