In "Not That Pet!", young Mabel is given the exciting task of choosing a new family pet. The story follows her hilarious and often chaotic journey as various animals are delivered to her door, each proving to be an unsuitable fit in its own comical way. From a giggling hyena to a snake that almost strangles Granddad, Mabel learns that finding the "very BEST" pet isn't as easy as it seems. This charming picture book explores themes of perseverance, family involvement, and the joy of finding just the right companion, all wrapped in a lighthearted and humorous narrative. It's perfect for sparking conversations about responsibility and what makes a good pet for a family.
Mabel's family is letting her pick what kind of pet to get, and she is determined to find the very BEST one. "Any pet you like delivered to your door," promises the sign. But what if the ants are too tiny, the hyenas too giggly, the owl too loud? What if the snake almost strangles Granddad and the skunk wants to spray the baby? None of the pets she tries out seems like the right fit.
