Prudence Wants a Pet by Kathleen Daly is simply a stitch of a read. Prudence asks for a pet. Mom and Dad say no, so she makes Branch a pet. Branch gets broken to bits and so Prudence makes Twig her pet. Then Famous Footwear takes over and is walked around the block on a leash. Soon Prudence thinks even little brothers could make a good pet. Mom and Dad instantly think a pet would be nice. Here the concept is funny, the illustrations are a hoot, and the end is sweet, as she names her kitten Branch. This book just make me LOL.
