Riassunto

Although desperate for a dog, Max understands that the family can never have one due to his sister’s allergies to animal fur, but when Emma picks out a strange and furless animal as her birthday present, Max is able to make the adjustment and love it just the same--enough to get a strange pet of his own!

Recensione:

“The pet topic is a natural, and Little manages both easygoing charm and conveyance of authentic sibling irritation.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

“Children’s emotional interactions with their pets and siblings are deftly handled, as are the issues of family membership and adoption.” (Chicago Tribune)

“Simple illustrations do a great job of capturing expressions of confusion, worry, anger, and joy. An exceptional beginning reader.” (School Library Journal)
