Elvie is absolutely desperate for a clever puppy she can train to perform amazing tricks. Instead, her Mum comes home from the pet shop with something entirely different, a fish. But Elvie is not the kind of girl who gives up easily. Determined to fulfill her dream of having a brilliant performing pet, she sets out to train her new aquatic friend, Fluff. The only problem is that Fluff the fish cannot sit on command, and she certainly will not bark. However, Elvie soon discovers that Fluff possesses a very special, rather smelly, and totally unique fishy talent all of her own. With Michael Rosen's signature humor and Tony Ross's delightfully funny illustrations, this story celebrates persistence and the hilarious surprises that come when things do not go exactly to plan. Perfect for young readers who love a good laugh and an unforgettable pet.
