This story was very near and dear to my heart. I was truly inspired by a real Fish Tank, in a real Doctors waiting room. The main Character "Goby" was the Fish that caught my eye and I watched him over and over, and he was all alone, and when he did Swim up to a bunch of Fish, and they all scattered. My heart went out to this little Guy. Then the only friend he made was the Purple and Yellow fish. I snapped a picture of these fish came home then looked up the type of fish. they are The Little one swimming up to the air filter and letting it push him down and he would go back and forth reminds me , of my Grandson Gabe, when babies first, learn something how they repeat things over and over. Well with the fact that the only fish in the tank that would swim by his side was this Royal "Gramma" Basslett . I thought how ironic. I always signed things to my own Grandson Gabe, as GRAMMA. I knew I had to share this story. The other fish in this story reminded me of People in my life, and there characteristics. I felt that Children of all ages could relate to this fish in this Tale.

A true story was the inspiration for this book. It was told by a father who had taken his family for a vacation on another continent. There, people had many customs that were different than what his family was used to back home. The man had a very pretty little daughter. One of the children in the country his family was visiting noticed the girl. This boy wanted to be friendly and decided to give the girl something he thought she would like. He knew his friends liked it when he shared with them. But the boy’s simple offering was not anything this girl was used to. In fact, she thought it was disgusting. So she rejected it and ran away from the boy, who had no idea what he had done wrong. Fortunately, the father saw what had happened and helped. Actually this father’s true story is the sort of thing that can easily happen, and does pretty often. One person tries to do something nice; it’s misinterpreted and not well received, and then there are hurt feelings. It can happen with children and even adults. That’s why this story is worth telling - over and over. And it can be a good starting point for discussions.

Anders Halverson provides an exhaustively researched and grippingly rendered account of the rainbow trout and why it has become the most commonly stocked and controversial freshwater fish in the United States. Discovered in the remote waters of northern California, rainbow trout have been artificially propagated and distributed for more than 130 years by government officials eager to present Americans with an opportunity to get back to nature by going fishing. Proudly dubbed an entirely synthetic fish by fisheries managers, the rainbow trout has been introduced into every state and province in the United States and Canada and to every continent except Antarctica, often with devastating effects on the native fauna. Halverson examines the paradoxes and reveals a range of characters, from nineteenth-century boosters who believed rainbows could be the saviors of democracy to twenty-first-century biologists who now seek to eradicate them from waters around the globe. Ultimately, the story of the rainbow trout is the story of our relationship with the natural world--how it has changed and how it startlingly has not.

#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
