About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child is relentlessly, creatively, and perhaps exasperatingly campaigning for a pet. This humorous story follows Mary Margaret, a girl whose parents have firmly said no to a pet. Undeterred, she embarks on a 'Perfect Pet Plan,' attempting to prove her responsibility by adopting a series of comically unsuitable critters like worms and moths. The book celebrates perseverance, creative problem-solving, and the loving, sometimes frustrating, dynamics of family. It's a perfect read for early chapter book readers, offering a funny and relatable story that can open a lighthearted conversation about responsibility and family rules.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The brief 'death' or disappearance of the tadpole is handled gently and comically, focusing more on Mary Margaret's reaction than the event itself. It's a secular story with no major sensitive themes; the central conflict is light and domestic.
