The Newest Pet

I like Chook because he wants to help his friend. It would be horrible to not have any pets and even worse to feel left out. The best part of this book was when all the pets were at school for the day. The classroom was like a noisy, smelly zoo. That would be lots of fun. -- Child reviewer Maddy W * Creative Kids Tales * This sweet series focuses on friends, family, community and being brave, and is great for developing emotional intelligence. -- Little Friends magazine * Little Friends magazine * All books are perfectly pitched for boys who are graduating to chapter books.
