I Need Pants!

A determined, fashion-forward fish sets an example in staying true to your wildest wishes

Fish wishes for pants. But Octopus is quick to point out that Fish can't wear pants ... because fish don't have legs. When Fish runs through a long list of different wishes--fuzzy bunny slippers, a pink tutu, a bow tie, earmuffs, and even a raincoat--Octopus shuts down all of these ideas too. "I know fish don't need to wear anything," Fish finally says. "But what if I want to?"

Octopus frets that other sea creatures might make fun of Fish. But once Fish finds a pair of pants and struts around the ocean in style, Octopus decides to try a few (four!) pairs on for size ... and comes to appreciate the joys of dressing just the way you want to.
