Friendship from a goldfish’s point of view

Eddy’s wish for company leads him to mistake a pair of curious eyes beyond his bowl for playmates. The story turns that misunderstanding into a child-friendly exploration of how connection can begin in unexpected places, while Eddy’s limited view of the world gives the premise a clear visual hook. Goldfish, glass bowl, and cat set up a simple contrast between what Eddy believes and what young readers can observe. Ann Kim Ha’s illustrations are described as bold, with the book presented as suitable for shared story time.

When Eddy the goldfish takes a leap of faith to be closer to his new friends, his perspective of the world widens in unexpected ways. A funny story about building empathy and making connections, for fans of LeUyen Pham, Dan Santat, Laura Vaccaro Seeger, and Michael Hall.

Eddy is a lonely goldfish stuck inside his fishbowl. He would love to have a friend to swim and play and blow bubbles with. Soon, on the other side of the glass, he spies not one but two new friends. After days of playing games together, Eddy leaps out of his bowl to be closer to them. And that's when he realizes that his two friends are really the inquisitive eyes of A CAT! Oh, no! Luckily for Eddy, friendship can be found in unexpected places.

A Friend for Eddy is funny and suspenseful, and observant readers will delight in seeing Eddy's mistake before he does. Ann Kim Ha's clever, bold illustrations will hold the attention of the youngest children, making A Friend for Eddy a wonderful choice for bedtime and story-time sharing.
