Faucet Fish

Elizabeth loves fish, but she is only allowed to have a boring little guppy. Then one day a trout plops out of her bathroom faucet. Elizabeth can’t believe her luck! Next a flounder wriggles out, followed by an eel and a triggerfish. Soon fishbowls fill the house, but it’s not until a baby whale crashes into the kitchen that Elizabeth’s distracted parents finally start listening to her. Wayne Anderson, illustrator of The Tin Forest and The Dragon Machine, has crafted surreal illustrations that brim with color and detail, bringing to life this quirky story about a fish wish that comes wildly, wonderfully true.
