A girl visits the animal shelter looking for a dog. Sadly, this particular animal shelter is out of dogs. She's offered an unusual assortment of animals instead. She turns them all down adamant she only wants a dog. After she tells the volunteer what's so special about a dog, he thinks he has just the right pet for her.
Thoughts: This book is hilarious! I can't wait to use it in storytime and share it with students at the elementary schools. It would pair well with What Pet Should I Get? by Dr. Seuss. The illustrations are in Agee's usual style. For such a simple illustration style, he conveys great emotion on the characters' faces.
Themes: Pets, Dogs, Unusual Pets
