Prudence tries out inanimate objects as pets; a branch, a twig, a shoe, and a tyre. She tries out some living things; her baby brother as well as sea friends (sea monkeys), which she is disappointed with. I found the number of sequences of the different pets a little long, as a reader I have already got the idea of what is going on. The illustrations support the text and Stephen Michael King does not disappoint with his wonderful illustrations especially Prudence' s eye popping out, big and round when she sees something that takes her interest. I am concerned about the parents final decision to get a pet for Prudence. I am also concerned that Prudence's want turns into a need. Pets are expensive and they need room, both of these answers to Prudence from her parents were very valid as to why she couldn't have a pet. This story could potentially led to another pet present that could end up at the RSPCA. Audience: 5 - 10 Simply colored ink drawings on white space are the backdrop for poor Prudence, who wants a pet - desperately. ""No," says Dad, "pets cost too much to keep." "No," says Mom, "pets make noise."" But these arguments do not stop the determined Prudence. She chooses a branch for a pet, then a twig, and even an old shoe. "Its name is Formal Footwear. She found the same written on its inside. She puts Formal Footwear on a leash and takes him for a walk around the block. The neighbors find Formal Footwear very interesting. Prudence shows them all the tricks she has taught Formal Footwear. Formal Footwear is a smart shoe." She's so desperate, she even tries out her brother, Milo, for a pet. "She feeds him seeds and grass." This is a hysterical look at a poor girl's quest for a pet. Will her parents (shown from a kids' eye view of waist down) relent? They'll have to. Prudence is impossible to resist! www.shelf-employed.blogspot.com sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Prudence wants a pet so much that she adopts a branch, a twig, a tire, and even a shoe named Formal Footwear, but none is a suitable pet for Prudence. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
