Cave Boy wants a pet more than anything. Can he find one that the
whole family will agree on?
Cave Boy has lots of things. Rocks. Sticks. A club. But no pet! Cave Boy
decides he must have a pet, but his parents object. He brings home
animal after animal in hopes of overcoming his parents' steadfast
resistance, but his attempts are unsuccessful--until he finds a Dodo
bird that is literally on the verge of extinction. And in a twist ending
on a classic concept, Cave Boy and his family discover it's worthwhile
to have animal friends around.
With snappy text that is short, fun, and young, Me Want Pet! makes for
an ideal read-aloud for the milk-and-cookies set.
