From a New York Times bestselling author and a rising-star
illustrator comes a humorous tale based on an amazing-but-true story
about the summer a city fountain was used as a goldfish pond.
H, Little O, and Baby Em are stuck in the city for the summer with only
their pet goldfish--Barracuda, Patch, and Fiss--for company. It's
looking like it might be a pretty boring vacation, but one day,
something exciting happens. Someone starts fixing up the old fountain
down the street--the one Grandpa says horses used to drink from before
everyone had cars--and a sign appears: Calling All Goldfish Looking for
a Summer Home. H, Little O, and Baby Em can't wait to send their
goldfish on vacation, and the fish, well, they seem pretty excited too.
Based on the true story of Hamilton Fountain in New York City, this
charming tale of one special summer will delight readers young and old.
