Bookroo's summary

Barnaby, a unique pet, feels replaced and unloved when a new pet arrives. He embarks on a daring adventure through the city's bustling streets and wild parks, searching for belonging. Will Barnaby find his way back to the love he lost, or discover something new along the way? This enchanting tale of friendship and family explores the heart's journey to find where it truly belongs.

From the publisher

Follow perfect pet Barnaby on his perilous journey home through bustling streets, mysterious alleyways, and the untamed wilds of city parks in this gorgeously illustrated tale of friendship, unconditional love and belonging. A stunning, standalone picture book set in the world of The Barnabus Project from international bestsellers The Fan Brothers, joined by their brother Devin Fan. Meet Barnaby: he’s half mouse and half elephant, with just a dash of flamingo . . . and fully trained! When he’s brought home to be pampered and cared for by his very own little girl, life is perfect . . . until a new, even more perfect pet comes on the scene. Suddenly Barnaby is no longer the most perfect pet around, and his little girl doesn’t seem interested in him anymore. Feeling unappreciated, Barnaby runs away and finds himself swept up on a wild journey through the city and an emotional search for home in a tale of love found, lost and found again. In a poignant follow-up to their award-winning, internationally bestselling picture book The Barnabus Project, The Fan Brothers and their brother Devin Fan have once again crafted a heartfelt and sweetly sensitive story full of adventure, friendship and family that will enchant readers of all ages.
