Mika's father works from home and he's very busy! He can never find time for the promised swimming trip. So Dad allows Mika to choose herself a pet from the store while he finishes the project-something quiet like a mouse.
And so begins a wonderfully turbulent story in which Mika brings home one animal after another... The mouse gets lost so she gets a dog to find it. the dog is followed by a seal, the seal a penguin. How many animals can come to stay before a harassed father notices?
This is a high-spirited story about an enterprising only child and a father's juggle to work from home.

Reviews / Votes
"Lively, colorful illustrations drawn in loose black outlines track this incredible saga of a bored kid, an opportunistic pet-shop owner, and a clueless father in comic double-page spreads chronicling Mika's wild, unsupervised activities, culminating in a surprising climax . . . Absolutely hilarious."-Kirkus ReviewsMore details
