The Perfect Pet

Get ready to meet your favorite characters – Penguin and Pup – in this laugh- out-loud adventure from rising star Hazel Gardner and bestselling "You're Called What?" illustrator, Nikki Dyson. LAUGHS GUARANTEED.

Meet Penguin: he's thoughtful, kind, and loyal. He can be a bit cautious with new things, and he's very sensible. Pup, on the other hand, is a fun-loving whirlwind! She always thinks big and sometimes gets carried away...

Like lots of friends, Penguin and Pup like VERY different things, especially when it comes to finding the perfect new addition to their family. All Penguin wants is something small and fluffy. Pup, in typical Pup fashion, thinks the BIGGER the better – a blue whale in a dress! A giant sloth! A unicorn! It's a recipe for disaster and LOTS of laughter. But will they ever agree on a perfect pet
