The Pets You Get!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Adrian Reynolds. A brother thinks his sister's guinea pig is a boring pet. He'd much rather have a pet dog, bear, dragon, or countless other interesting animals. Predictably, he discovers that guinea pigs are "really fun after all" (and great at playing hide-and-seek). Illustrations of the boy's imagined "much more fun" creatures are "much more exciting" than the lackluster story.
