Hooray! Mabel and her family are getting a pet! There's no time to lose! But which kind of animal should they choose? Not the snake – it's too scary. The elephant's too big. The worms are too wriggly and the hyena too giggly. Then Mabel has the perfect idea. But will her family agree? A laugh-out-loud rhyming story about finding the perfect pet – with plenty of hilarious twists along the way.
Have a conversation with your child about the creature in the book that they would most like to have as a pet. Would a scaly or spiny pet be ok for your family? Or something noisy or scary or covered in spikes?
