Bookroo's summary
Cave Boy is determined to find a pet, but his parents say no to every creature he brings home. From wild animals to a rare Dodo bird, his quest seems hopeless. Will Cave Boy's persistence pay off, or will he have to give up his dream? Discover how one unusual find might change everything for his family in this delightful tale of friendship and determination.
From the publisher
Cave Boy wants a pet more than anything. Can he find one that the whole family will agree on? Cave Boy has lots of things. Rocks. Sticks. A club. But no pet! Cave Boy decides he must have a pet, but his parents object. He brings home animal after animal in hopes of overcoming his parents’ steadfast resistance, but his attempts are unsuccessful–until he finds a Dodo bird that is literally on the verge of extinction. And in a twist ending on a classic concept, Cave Boy and his family discover it’s worthwhile to have animal friends around. With snappy text that is short, fun, and young, Me Want Pet! makes for an ideal read-aloud for the milk-and-cookies set.
