Goldfish Ghost

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Brown. A goldfish ghost wafts around a seaside town looking for companionship until he meets the lonely ghost of a lighthouse keeper. In this straightforward quest story, emotion is conveyed by color: the world of the living is all warm pink and beige; the ghost world slate-gray and dark teal, with typing-paper-white ghost figures. In the field of pet bereavement narratives, this stands out for its tenderness, originality, and subtlety.
