My Pet Wants a Pet

Dr. Seuss's What Pet Should I Get? meets Peter Brown's Children Make Terrible Pets in this warm-hearted picture book by a New York Times–bestselling author. Once there was a boy who wanted something to take care of. Something of his very own. He begged his mother for a puppy. Until she said YES! The boy loved his puppy. He fed him and played with him and cuddled him. But soon, the dog wanted something to take care of—something of his very own. So the dog gets a pet cat; then the cat gets a pet bird; the bird gets a pet worm; the worm gets a pet flea . . . and on and on it goes as utter chaos ensues. This charming picture book cleverly captures a universal wish—to love and care for something—and shows that you're never too little to share in that dream. A Christy Ottaviano Book
