A Berenstain Bears picture book about Sister Bear losing her pet goldfish, Goldie. Sister feeds Goldie, cleans the tank and buys her a fishbowl castle, then Mama and Papa find Goldie floating belly-up and help the family cope. It is a gentle, direct story for young children facing a first pet death, and it sits alongside the series' other issue-led titles rather than its purely funny ones. The book handles grief through the Bear family's reactions, which parents often use to start a conversation.
