The Pet Project: Cute and Cuddly Vicious Verses

32 pp. | Atheneum | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-7595-3 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Zachariah Ohora. A budding-scientist narrator begins a meticulous project researching which animal will make the best pet for her. As she observes creatures in various environs, including the farm, zoo, woodlands, and at home, any potential pick gets a poem--each impeccably rhymed and side-splittingly wry--eliminating it from the running. OHora's bold black-outlined acrylics smartly work with and expand on Wheeler's jokes.
