The Birthday Pet

32 pp. | Cavendish | March, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7614-5522-6 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin O'Malley. For Danny's birthday, his family members promise him a pet. Thinking they know best, they get him the pets that they want. The design-marker and colored-pencil illustrations, including funny close-up perspectives, show why these animals don't work out, and Danny finally gets his wished-for turtle. Kids will enjoy anticipating the text's rhymes as they turn pages.
