Help settle this debate! Do you think the narrative shifts to the real world when it asks what the Goldfish sees? Like, is the Goldfish in the classroom with the Teacher and Kids? Or is the Goldfish in the book within the book that the teacher is reading to the kids? Argument to be made for point 1 is that the Goldfish doesn't follow the pattern of unusual animal colors and it's just "goldfish" not, "gold goldfish". Thoughts on this very important question?

Shifts to the real world. That’s always been my interpretation.
I always assumed the teacher and kids were outside the book universe and the goldfish was the bridge between worlds.
