Illustrated by
Maple Lam.
Two sisters devise a successful plan to convince their dad (using his own advice) that they are ready to adopt a puppy. The girls demonstrate persistence, responsibility, and creativity. They also show compassion and explain why they want to adopt from a shelter. The simple, happy illustrations include a book the girls write on the benefits of pet ownership.
