""We want a pet! We want a pet!"" chant the kids.
""No! We will not let you have a pet. We are dead set against a pet!"" say the parents.
And so the battle lines are drawn — can the kids convince the parents?

As they lie in the grass watching bugs and beetles, watching little legs and eyes,
watching ladybirds, spiders and flies, suddenly they realise these will be their pets!!

Complete mayhem follows as the kids bring their gross, slimy, leggy, hairy ‘pets’ inside . . .

Children learn about different kind of pet

I like the part when the insects that the children have kept, escape into the house and then eventually the parents let them have a dog.

The bit I liked in this book is when the parents say No so the children go outside and try finding some pets outdoors like ladybirds and slugs and spiders and worms.
