About this item

A charming picture book that cleverly captures a universal wish -- to love and care for something -- and shows that you're never too little to share in that dream, by New York Times-bestselling author Elise Broach.Once there was a boy who wanted something to take care of. Something of his very own. He begged his mother for a puppy. Until she said YES! The boy loved his puppy. He fed him and played with him and cuddled him. But soon, the dog wanted something to take care of -- something of his very own. So the dog gets a pet cat; then the cat gets a pet bird; the bird gets a pet worm; the worm gets a pet flea . . . and on and on it goes as utter chaos ensues. A Christy Ottaviano Book
