A young boy in lively, bustling Smartytown is convinced by his parents that a book is an ideal pet, as it requires no food, walking, or other care. When the pet is accidentally given away, then safely recovered, the boy develops an even deeper bond with his friend. This is a clever rhyming story set against a city rich with colors, shapes, and details.
