Description
Join Penguin and Pup in this laugh-out-loud caper from rising star Hazel Gardner and bestselling You're Called What? illustrator, Nikki Dyson. Choosing a pet has never been so hilarious - and complicated!
Like lots of friends, Penguin and Pup like VERY different things. Especially when it comes to finding the perfect new addition to their family. All Penguin wants is a something small and fluffy. Pup, in typical Pup fashion, thinks the BIGGER the better. A blue whale in a dress! A giant sloth! A unicorn! It's a recipe for disaster, and LOTS of laughter, but in The Perfect Pet, will they ever agree on one?
Whether you are more Penguin, or more Pup, come along and let the giggling begin!
