Customer Reviews

Great writing topic!

This is a great book to use to have your class write a persuasive piece about asking their parents for a pet!

The Perfect Pet

Loved this book! Gave it to my granddaughters who loved it and so did their parents. It has a sweet sense of humor and a fun way of talking about having a pet.

The Perfect Book By Diego

I really like this book because it tells about a girl that wants a pet but her parents won't let her. Her parents gave her a cactus but she didnt like it and it wasnt a pet. Then she asked her parents almost all the animals and their parents said "NO". If you want to know more about this book read " THE PERFECT PET".

Fun story

Any kid who's ever wanted a pet will relate to this fun picturebook. For another fun book (my kids can't live without this one), take a look at, Drum, Chavi, Drum!

cute pet book

Elizabeth wants a pet, but her parents say NO to all of her ideas. She ends up with a cactus called Carolyn. She likes the plant but decides to keep asking her parents for other animals. They keep telling her no. She finds a bug one day and decides that he is the perfect pet.We liked the pictures in the book. The story line kept us interested til the end. I would recommend this book because most kids can relate to the little girl in the story. She wants a pet but her parents won't let her have one.
