The Best Pet of All (Alana Gaitan)
David LaRochelle
ills Hanako Wakiyama
This little boy wants a dog for a pet on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but his mother is not giving in. Finally this clever boy tries another method of persuasion by asking for a pet dragon,
to which his mother's mantra is "Find a dragon and we'll keep him". Who knew a dragon for a pet would be so much trouble? This is a read again over and over text with short meaningful words perfect for emergent readers. However the most beautiful part of this book is the illustrations! Wakiyama's artwork looks like 1950's magazine artwork. My children loved this book and your young ones will too!
