Wanted: The Perfect Pet

40 pp. | Putnam | May, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25461-1 $16.99
(3) K-3 Henry advertises for a pet dog. Duck wants a friend, so he answers Henry's ad disguised as a dog. Duck isn't a very good dog, but when his identity is revealed, Henry makes a list of duck skills that point to his being the perfect pet after all. Minimally colored line drawings humorously enhance this warm tale of friendship.
