Prudence Wants a Pet

32 pp. | Roaring Brook/Porter | June, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-468-4 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Michael King. When Mom and Dad won't get her a pet, Prudence uses her imagination; unfortunately, a tree branch that accompanies her to school, a shoe named Formal Footwear, and baby brother Milo don't pan out. Daly's dry humor and her wonderfully persistent protagonist elevate this book above typical kiddo-wants-a-pet fare. King's illustrations--spare line drawings punctuated with color--perfectly chronicle Prudence's ups and downs.
