Humorous and full of appeal, this folded-page book contrasts everyday pets with more unusual choices. Thick pages anchored with eye-popping orange show a child holding a leash that leads to a common pet. Unfolding the page reveals the "extraordinary" option. ("A bunny hops BUT... / a flamingo walks tall.") The wannabe pet owners each resemble the more atypical critter.
