Publisher's Note

"All good pets have fur.
Only strange pets have no fur."

Emma's brother, Max, wants a dog. But he can't have one because Emma is allergic to furry animals. With her birthday just a few days away, Emma decides that she would like a pet for a present. After a trip to the store, Emma finds the perfect nonfurry animal. Will Max like his sister's strange pet too?

Jean Little's heartening and subtly insightful tale about the ever-evolving relationship between siblings is underscored by Jennifer Plecas's captivating artwork.



Industry Reviews
"The pet topic is a natural, and even in restricted text Little manages both easygoing charm and conveyance of authentic sibling irritation."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (10/01/2003)
