Reach for this book when your child is feeling grumpy about a new sibling, a crowded classroom, or a change in their personal space. It is a humorous and relatable look at how we often don't realize the value of our community until we are suddenly separated from it. The story follows a goldfish who initially resents the various 'intruders' (new fish and decor) that clutter his bowl, only to find himself lonely when he is moved to a temporary holding tank. It is an excellent choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the transition from solo play to shared environments. This book helps normalize the frustration of sharing space while gently leading children toward gratitude for the lively, messy connections that make life interesting.
