Tonight we went to the bookstore. We read several books but Elliot really enjoyed “A Fish Out Water” and “The Tooth Book” (especially when I told him he’s going to the dentist soon).
We bought A Fish Out Of Water. When we were finally in bed, he asked me to read it to him again. And again! We read the same 64-page book 3 times in less than 2 hours.
Update: we read it the next night another 2 time.
When the lights were out, he asked me to tell him a story as he often does. I told him about a boy named Elliot who had a fish named Otto who lived the basement. Elliot’s dog, Chinle, accidentally dropped the entire box of fish food into Otto’s tank. When Ellliot got home, Otto was the size of the basement! The pinball machines were crushed, the bedroom was full.
Elliot called Blippi for help. Blippi came in his fire truck. Together they got Otto out of the basement and into Elliot’s white electric car. Elliot drove Otto to the pool nextdoor.
Everyone got out of the pool so Otto could get in. But he could not stay there because the kids wanted to use the pool again. Elliot called Mickey Mouse. The team of three then drove Otto to Chatfield Reservoir in Blippi’s fire truck.
Elliot brought Otto to the water and Otto said , “thank you!” So he did not have to become small again like in the book.
He then turned into the magic fish and granted Elliot the wishes. Elliot wished for a popcorn whale. The whale kissed Elliot on the nose as we ate him, but the whale grew back the eaten parts. He was not hurt.
Elliot’s second wish was a popcorn dolphin. The dolphin also kissed Elliot on the nose. Can you tell that Elliot had some popcorn after dinner? We ate the dolphin, but he was not hurt.
Elliots third wish was a popcorn Aki-Daddy, who walked onto the beach from a grove of trees further along. He kissed Elliot on the nose as Elliot, Blippi, and Mickey Mouse ate him.
His fourth wish was a popcorn mama. but there was no fourth wish allowed by the magic fish, so Elliot invented a magic squid that appeared and granted him this wish.
