Bookroo's summary

A boy's carnival prize turns into a colossal challenge when he wins a giant goldfish named Nuncio. As the fish outgrows their home, his parents question if they can keep it. Will they find a way to accommodate their new friend, or must Nuncio swim away? Dive into this delightful tale of friendship and family, where the stakes are as big as the fish!

From the publisher

The hilarious and heartwarming story of a boy who tries to win a goldfish and winds up with FAR more than he bargained for . . .

A young boy wins a humongous new pet at the carnival, and before long, they become fast friends. But his parents are skeptical. After all, Nuncio doesn’t even fit in the house! Will the gargantuan goldfish have to go? Or will the family find a way to give him the home he deserves?

Fans of Sparky will flip for this whale of a tale from Audrey Vernick, author of Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten? and featuring illustrations from Wow! City! illustrator Robert Neubecker.
