When Sophie, who longs for a pet, visits the big, boat-shaped pet store in the park near her city apartment, she meets Mr. and Mrs. Noah, who long for grandchildren. Sophie's visits to help at the store answer both her and the Noahs' wishes for "someone special to love." Ebullient line drawings on every page capture the whimsy of this affectionate tale.
