Fun story

My 3 year old daughter loves this book and we read it every night. It's a cute story that has a twist at the end. The three pigs pictured on the cover are in a quest to find the perfect dog and in the process they try out several options until the pet shop owner finds them the perfect pet, according to the list they make, and it comes as a bit of a surprise, but the pet is indeed perfect!
