Book Overview
I quite fancy a pet - an African lion or an octopus or even a boa constrictor. The trouble is, Mum and Dad and Granny and Grandad all have objections to pets. Grandad says that sheep are forever following you around; Dad says wolves give him a headache; and Mum says she'll cancel tea-time if I mention bats in the wardrobe again. So I must try to find a pet that none of them will mind. What could I have'. Lauren Child's deliciously droll riddle of a text, accompanied by her own delightful and wacky illustrations, is sure to raise chuckles with grown-ups and children alike.

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!
