Just Perfect

(4) PS In the imaginative text, a child and his parents decide to add to their family of three by trying out various pets--turtle, octopus, dolphin, chameleon, porcupine--until problems arise ("The octopus made a mess of everything!"). Finally, a baby sibling arrives who is "just perfect." Warm but stagnant paintings, with a mix of realistic and fantastic elements, illustrate the family story.
