Summary from Little Tiger Press
Katie McGinty really wants a pet. But she doesn’t want an ordinary pet;
hamsters, cats, and dogs are just…YUCK! What she wants more than
anything else in the world is a … zebra! A zebra who slurps spaghetti,
sleeps in her bunk bed and bathes in the local swimming pool. And she’s
determined to get one!
Nayu's thoughts
I
really should have guessed from the cover what type of pet Katie
wants! I had no clue, so was as baffled as her parents. I like her
arguments why her dream pet would be suitable – it helps to have
answers to points which parents can bring up about a subject they
don't think you're ready to have (if it's a pet). The ending was a
huge surprise which made me laugh. All the way through the bright
illustrations added to Katie's charm. I think most parents will be
glad it's impossible to buy Katie's dream pet!
Available from bookstores including NRC affiliate Foyles.
