Librarianjk recommends Wanted: The Perfect Pet



Wanted: The Perfect Pet 
by Fiona Roberton

Summary: A boy who desperately wants a pet dog ends up with a duck instead.

This is a humorous book that would be fantastic to use as a read-aloud. It can be used to discuss being yourself, and accepting others for their own special qualities. A follow-up activity for younger students is to have them draw and write about a pet that would be perfect for them, even if it is an animal that does not exist!

Interest Level: ages 2-4, grades K-3
Reading Level: grade 3
