What is A Pet for Me about?

A child is eager to find the perfect pet but cannot decide which animal would suit best. Should it be a cat, a turtle, a frog, some mice or a fish? Each choice brings something exciting, but also a few tricky problems to consider. Told in lively rhyming text, this playful story follows the child’s thoughts as different pets are imagined and compared. At last, after plenty of careful thinking, the child chooses the pet that feels just right.
