Jack's mother says he can choose a pet - but what pet to get? An elephant? (So difficult to take on vacation.) A polar bear? (It wouldn't like the central heating.) What about a Tyrannosaurus Rex? (Unfortunately, it's been extinct for 65 million years.) The gatefold on the last page reveals Jack's final choice, and a big surprise - literally!

Horn Book Review

Jack just can't decide what kind of pet to get. For every outrageous suggestion he makes, his mother has at least one good reason to disagree. Cheery outsize cartoon illustrations with strong black lines and muted colors give personality to Jack's imaginary menagerie. By the end, a dog seems perfect. (c) Copyright 2010.
