Joe's Fish - Paperback

Can fish be family?

When Rabbi Abie Ingber was a little boy, a fisherman friend named Joe gave his family a bucket of pike. Young Abie noticed one was still alive, and begged his parents to keep it in the bathtub. Days became weeks, and Abie cared for his fish throughout the winter. But when the weather warmed, and it was time for his "fish out of water" to go back the lake where it belonged, how could Abie say goodbye? Beautifully illustrated and charmingly told, this heartwarming, true story handed down through the generations beautifully expresses not only the bonds we forge with our animal friends but the importance of letting go.
