About the Book
When Elizabeth's parents offer her a plant named Carolyn instead of a flesh-and-blood pet, Elizabeth soon discovers an unusual pet of her own--a bug she names Doug. A Junior Library Guild Selection.Book Synopsis
A funny book to share with kids who really, really, REALLY want a pet!
Elizabeth really wants a pet. She'd like a horse, a dog, a cat, or even a turtle. But her parents do not want a pet. Instead they give her a cactus. Even though Elizabeth's new plant proves to be a good listener, Elizabeth still really wants a pet.
While Elizabeth campaigns to find the right pet, her family imagines some hair-raising possibilities, until Doug comes along. Doug is, without a doubt, the most unusual, perfect pet of all. Doug is a bug! He's not big like a horse or loud like a dog. He doesn't scratch, or shed, or jump on furniture. And he hardly eats a thing.
Margie Palatini and Bruce Whatley have created a hiarious picture book that handles a topic every parent and child will relate to--choosing that perfect pet.
