Bookroo's summary
A young boy dreams of having extraordinary pets like a bear or a dragon, dismissing his sister's guinea pig as dull. But as he explores the wonders of these fantastical creatures, he learns that even the smallest pet can bring the greatest joy. Will his perspective change as he uncovers the hidden magic in the ordinary?
From the publisher
There are so many whiz-bang great pets you can get! How about an enormous brown bear? Or a tentacled beast from the sea? Or even a humongous smoky dragon that glows? But as this small boy learns, even the smallest of pets can be surprisingly fun too!
