Description
In this funny, feel-good first-pet book, one aspiring dog owner and her parents ponder - in wildly imaginative and hilarious detail - all the best and worst outcomes of bringing home more dogs than you can (literally) shake a stick at. A young girl proclaims, "I want 100 dogs." In a twist, her parents agree, but they have just one question: Where will 100 dogs sleep? Our protagonist revises her request to 90 dogs. But how does one walk 90 dogs? A silly, subtractive counting tale and an over-the-top ode to the joys (and woes) of canine company, this sweet and surprising story proves that no matter how boundless your enthusiasm, when it comes to finding the perfect pet, sometimes less really is more. Written by bestselling author Stacy McAnulty and illustrated with vintage flair by Claire Keane, this clever and funny picture book will be a new favorite for readers and pet lovers everywhere - whether you have no dogs, one dog, or one dog too many.
