Fish doesn’t swim anymore. Dog and Kitty try to help Fish swim again, but nothing works. Giraffe knows what’s going on: Fish is dead. Together they decide to bury Fish, but Kitty doesn’t want to forget about Fish. In what special ways can she remember Fish? This simple, touching story will help young children experiencing the death of a pet, friend, or loved one. "These stories feature Kitty, Monkey, Mouse, Giraffe, Rabbit, and Dog as they experience everyday events. In Goodbye, Fish, Kitty's friends attempt to get her dead goldfish to respond. When tickling its tummy and making waves in the bowl don't work, Giraffe breaks the bad news. A proper burial is held. After Kitty faithfully waters Fish's grave, since he "didn't like dirt, he liked water," a golden flower appears. Van Lindenhuizen's winning critters on spare backgrounds pose with gentle friendliness." School Library Journal
