Why read it?

1 author picked What Pet Should I Get? as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this book because it's still funny and remains a classic.

Although it reflects a time when dads made decisions and pet adoption from shelters wasn't as common, its rhymes, unique illustration style, and humor make it a favorite.

Despite being a bit outdated contextually, it means well, sends a positive message, and its artistic charm never gets old.

From Tanya's list on picture books about pets.
