Illustrated by
Laurie Keller.
Siblings trek across land and water--encountering animals wearing costumes and having adventures--while searching for the perfect pet. Lively acrylic-paint and digital collage illustrations show the kids' progress (along with an inset photo of the author, in animal disguise, on each double-page spread). Lyrics and guitar chords to the song "Animal Friends" are included; readers unfamiliar with Covert's tunes may be mystified.
