Kim plucked this off the shelf and implored me to read it with her. She loved it and so did I for its unique perspective. We loved the ending, very creative!

This is another of David Seow's books that I thought I had reviewed, but do not see here. He sent this to my children autographed.

I really like this book. It is expressive, funny, and very well illustrated.

A boy wants a pet and does what all youngsters do when they don't get their way; he wined. Fortune was on his side for a fly heard him and agreed to be his pet. And what a great pet he was as he was able to morph into other animals at a moment's notice. This was lots of fun until they went out to dinner and the fly landed in someone's soup (great turn of phrase).

The boy loses his fly but gains a pet dog, which his parents think will be less trouble. But is it? Ha!
