Prudence Wants a Pet by Cathleen Daly
4.0

Prudence desperately wants a pet, but her parents are not so thrilled with the idea. So Prudence takes it upon herself to find her own pet...a branch, a twig, a shoe, her baby brother...

I loved the imagination and humor in this story, right down to the final word, which brings the story round full-circle. The illustrations did not do much to enhance the story for me, but fortunately the text carries the story well enough on its own.
