Reviews / Votes
'The illustrations in this story are beautiful, the clever boy in the story REALLY wants a pet and he knows just how to get one! There are lots of opportunities for participation and the rhythm and repetition make it a really great book to read aloud. It can be paired with 'Rosie is my Best Fried' in the way of exploring the world with pets.' - Seven StoriesMore details
