Prudence Wants a Pet by Cathleen Daly
5.0

When Prudence hounds and pesters her parents to get her a pet, they unflinchingly always say now. So Prudence decides to invent her own pets: a branch, a shoe, an old tire, even her baby brother. But she soon finds out there is no substitute for the real thing. Will her parents ever get her the pet she so desires?

The simple, endearing illustrations make this a warm and light-hearted read, but the humorous and resonant ending is really what made this book become a favorite for me.
