Think and Respond

1 Where does Flip hide?
2 Why doesn’t Flip want to go with Tom
or Trish?
3 Would your house be a good place for
a fish? Why or why not?

Fish Care Find out about fish that live in

tanks. What do they eat? Why do some need salt
water to live? Do they get along with other fish?
Go to a pet store and find out.

School-Home Connection After your child

reads aloud the story, have them draw a picture
of a fish he or she would like to have.
