The Birthday Fish by Dan Yaccarino

3.0

A simple story about a little girl who has always wanted a pony (what little fantasy girl hasn't, right?). She's asked for one on every occasion, but has never gotten a pony. Then, on her birthday, she receives a manageable pet: a fish! The fish is also magical and can talk, and promises the girl her wish if she takes him to the lake and set him free. On the journey to the lake, though, the girl and fish bond. Illustrations are cartoon-like.
