We Want a Pet! Reviews

"There is so much potential to have fun here with the words, rhythm and rhyme, and as such this is an ideal story to read aloud. The animated illustrations are a joy; colourful and bold with some wonderfully vivid expressions on the faces of parents, children and wannabe pets." -- Elaine Chant * Carousel *
