Piper Picks the Perfect Pet

Age range 3 to 9

My dad says I can choose a pet, but I’m not sure which pet to get.

A dog, a cat, a fish, a rat?

How can Piper pick the perfect pet when there are so many appealing possibilities?

‘Caroline Tuohey and Nicky Johnston’s book will appeal to all animal lovers, especially families that have pets or might be in the market for one. Johnston’s illustrations are simple and non-fussy, depicting an array of adorable animals being considered for adoption. Best for pre-schoolers, Piper Picks the Perfect Pet is easy reading for beginners and will kick off discussion about which pet is the most appropriate one for a child’s household.’ - Thuy On, Books+Publishing

‘With assonance and rhyming verse, Piper Picks the Perfect Pet is ideal for reading aloud. Short and sharp, with precise and perfect text, Caroline Tuohey has chosen her words carefully. Matched well with Nicky Johnson’s stunning illustrations, the story displays in sight and sound, the complexity of choice when deciding which pet to pick. The stunning front covers show the cluster of animals Piper has to choose from. A gorgeous title page leads us into the story where the space surrounding the illustrations allows them to shine in their own light, as do the words.’ - Kids Book Review
