|summary=A funny and appealing story for newly independent readers telling you all you
need to know about choosing the perfect pet...or maybe the pet is choosing you!
This book would be perfect for a new reader to read alone or to be read aloud to a slightly younger child. The length of the story is not too daunting and is broken up with illustrations by [[:Category:Tony Ross|Tony Ross]]. Newly independent readers are comforted by the familiar, often returning to read old favourites, and many children will have already seen Tony Ross’s work in picture books so the overall look of the book may appeal to them too. This is a refreshing alternative to the reading scheme books that so many children encounter and would be an enjoyable read for a child just gaining confidence in reading independently.
There is a growing range of books available for emerging readers and coincidentally one of my favourites is about dogs too. I can highly recommend [[Dixie O'Day in the Fast Lane by Shirley Hughes and Clara Vulliamy]] about the adventures of two rather dapper little dogs. Slightly younger children will enjoy [[Katie McGinty Wants a Pet by Jenna Harrington and Finn Simpson]].
