Tooting my horn for 'Whale in a Fishbowl' by author Troy Howell

Once in a while a children's book comes out which knocks all other children's books out of the water...no pun intended here folks...as this book is about a whale in captivity.

Wednesday, is a whale, who lives in a huge fishbowl in the heart of a city.  She is visited by a little girl who tells the whale that it doesn't belong in a fishbowl but in the sea!

Whale in a Fishbowl is an endearing tale, or tail, as one would have it, about a whale who makes a huge leap!

The illustrations are by Richard Jones, which are the perfect artwork for the tale.

This is a newly released children's book, and I know the author personally, as he is my brother, who has been in the professional art and author media for over 25 years, as the publicists have agreed this book was chosen as the BEST book of the month on Amazon.books. in the month of May 2018.

This may just be the next most popular children's book to be published, hoping to match the fame of Goodnight Moon, and Where the Wild Things Are. 

In the book stores, Whale in a Fishbowl copies are flying off the shelves, making a huge leap into the minds of children and adults, alike!
