(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Neubecker. At the fair, our narrator wins not a goldfish but a whale named Nuncio. The boy takes Nuncio home and installs him in his swimming pool. At first the adjustment is difficult, but after the boy realizes that Nuncio can help with chores (e.g., washing the car), he becomes one of the family. Lack of logic is balanced by heart; the illustrations of the brown boy and his blue whale have energy and humor.
