Bookroo's summary

Cat sets out to find a fish but ends up on a heartwarming journey of generosity. Along the way, he buys a horn for Elephant, a book for Dog, a paintbrush for Bird, and a plant for Rabbit. In his excitement to surprise his friends, Cat nearly forgets his own goal. Will he find his fish, or is the joy of giving the true treasure? Join Cat in this delightful tale of friendship and selflessness.

From the publisher

In this book perfect for emergent readers, Cat wants a fish. He ventures out in search of one and comes across a horn in the window of a music shop that he thinks his neighbor Elephant might like, so Cat buys it. Cat’s search for a fish continues when he encounters a bookstore. Certainly bookworm Dog would enjoy a new book so Cat buys him one. Cat’s sweep of generosity continues as he buys a paintbrush for Bird at an art store and a plant for Rabbit from the florist. In his surge of excitement to give his friends their new gifts, Cat almost forgets to get himself a fish! When Cat returns home and presents his friends with their new things, they are all very happy, which for Cat is the greatest happiness of all. An I Like to Read(R) book. Guided Reading Level C.
