A young girl named Elizabeth becomes bored with her guppy and wishes for a more exciting fish. She knows from fairy tales to be careful for what you wish for, but makes the wish anyways. From the water faucets with in her house fish begin to appear. These fish include piranhas, flounders, ells, clown fish, squid, halibut, and even a baby beluga whale.

This book has outstanding illustrations, with good dialogue between Elizabeth and her parents.

I could use this book in my classroom by showing my students different fish species as a science lesson.
