I think it will be good for a child that want a pet but cannot choose. This book has illustrastions that a child can enjoy.

Silly, fun, and very entertaining!

My 2 year old is a huge fan of the Charlie and Lola series. We stumbled across "I Want a Pet" upon a recent visit to the library. My daughter fell in LOVE with this book so now we are going to have to get our British grandmother to get us a copy (much less expensive than the $14.00 American version!). My daughter can recite the whole book! The illustrations are fantastic. We highly recommend this book!

Lovely fun book

I'll keep it short and sweet: this is a great book for storytime and/or for self-readers. Filled with hilarious illustrations and a silly story this is a must read for Lauren Child fans. This is one of her first books and we are still craving more. Love it!
