This is a cute, fashionable book all about the throes of learning how to take care of a pet. Charlotte is at first upset that she gets a rock as a pet--but learns to love her rock as best as any other...until she discovers that her rock isn't exactly a rock. This is perfect for the child who wants a pet, or who is very excited about taking care of animals, and great for grades 1-4.

Hmmm... not sure I liked the plot twist. It felt too rushed and needed more time to develop. But I loved the story up until that point. A sweet and humorous tale about a girl who wants a pet and gets a rock. She still manages to maintain her positivity and finds creative ways to play with her new pet.

A very cute story about a little girl and her first...albeit boring...pet. Dennis the Rock is not the kind of pet that Charlotte was hoping for, but she's in for a big surprise!
Not very text heavy, and the adorable pictures tell it all.

This book was silly and cute! I will keep this one in my back pocket for pet storytimes or possibly even rock painting.

Cute. Not what I expected, but pleasantly surprised. Sweet story. Pair with Prudence Wants a Pet & A Pet for Petunia.
