This book is very different but I enjoyed reading it a lot! It is about a boy who trades his dad to his friend Nathan for two goldfish. When his mother gets upset and makes him take the goldfish back, Nathan has already traded the dad for an electric guitar. The story follows the boy on his search to get his dad back. He ends up going to several different places to trade other items that the children traded the boy's dad for. What stood out most to me while reading this book were the pictures because they were all very unique. Some were just sketches while others were filled with bright colors and details. I think children would like this story because most would be able to relate to wanting to trade things with their friends. I remember when I was younger I loved trading so that I could have new things to play with. In the classroom this book could be useful to teach students about trading and the value of different goods. For example, in the story, trading the boy's dad for two goldfish is an acceptable trade, but in reality the value of these things is very different.
