Pet Dad

(3) K-3 When Plum's dad won't let her have a pet, she pretends he's her pet, despite his continual protests. Many of Plum's antics (e.g., trying to paper-train Schnitzel, a.k.a. Dad) are LOL-humorous, and the pencil and ink illustrations feature eye-catching color accents and entertaining background details of dogs who resemble their humans. Satisfyingly, Plum eventually learns that, like human dads, pet dads respond best to being loved.
