My Pet Wants a Pet

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Eric Barclay. A boy persuades his mother to get him a puppy. Things go so well, the puppy decides it needs a pet: a kitten...who adopts a bird...who adopts a worm... Finally, with satisfying circularity, a flea adopts the puppy. Warm, funny cartoon illustrations help predict each new arrival and reinforce the book's most valuable point: "Whenever you take care of something, that something takes care of you."
Reviewer: Julie Roach | Horn Book Magazine Issue: May, 2018
