No Pets Allowed! A Bloomsbury Reader

A funny, uplifting tale about family and the healing power of pets from internationally published author, Chitra Soundar.

Keva loves helping out at Grandpa’s pet adoption centre. When he has to go to hospital, she knows that his best friend, Atlas the tortoise, is just the thing to cheer him up. It’s too bad that the rude hospital manager, Mr Sallow, has banned all pets from the ward! But when Keva notices a picture on his desk, she hatches a plan that she hopes will change his mind… This story features lively black-and-white illustrations by Fay Austin.
