Goldfish on Vacation by Sally Lloyd-Jones illustrated by Leo Espinosa

This book is one of Read Aloud Revival summer family read alouds.  Three siblings have the opportunity to give their goldfish a vacation in a abandoned water fountain.  A gentleman comes along to clean it up and revive its beauty.  Not only do the city's goldfish have a delightful summer, but their owners (and a sweet grandfather) experience joyful yet simple activities around the fountain.
This story is based on true events which took place in New York City over the summers of 1992-2005.
A perfect summer story!
