This book is an absolute delight. And it made me so happy to read that this is based on a true story of what happened in New York over the summers of 1992 to 2005. Can you imagine a beautiful fountain where kids could bring their goldfish to have a summer vacation? This was mostly to attract kids who weren't leaving the city themselves to have a fun place to visit! The fountain was first filled with lily pads and reeds and shining water. The kids come to collect their goldfish at the end of the summer. My adult mind asked, "How would they know their fish?" They didn't! They just took home whichever ones they caught. So cool!!! Creative!!! Magical!
