Book Details

“Nothing Lights Up A Room Like An Awesome Aquarium!”

Who knew Uncle Jesse’s visit would be so much fun? The fun begins when Bubby and Uncle make a list of activities that everyone can do together. When Uncle Jesse suggests setting up a new aquarium in the den, Bubby is very excited. Fish-keeper Bob, at the Happy Pet Shop, also helps Bubby create the perfect aquarium. Bob and Bubby select just the right fish, because—according to Bob—a delightful aquarium will turn an ordinary den into a fabulous family room. Later, the aquarium inspires Grandma to create a fancy 2-D art project, which she displays on the wall in the kitchen. However, one day, something happens that could completely destroy the aquarium. It’s a good thing Uncle Jesse is there to save the day!

 

Book Excerpt

When Grandma opens her eyes, she sees her son, Jesse, running toward the rocking aquarium with his arms outstretched. Bubby watches his uncle fling himself into the air and fly toward the aquarium.
