Summary
When his father finally says he can get a pet, George, a little boy who has everything, searches high and low for the perfect companion--with hilarious results!
Amazon.com description: Product Description: For all parents who have made a promise â and every kid who has held them to it â comes a cautionary tale from a masterfully witty pair.
George is a very lucky boy. He has everything a boy could want, except for one thing: he doesnât have a pet. When Georgeâs father finally sighs, "All right, you may have a pet," George goes out to look for one â but how is he to know that it canât be too big, or too scampery, or too toothy, or too . . . unusual? A revered author and a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist keep their tongues in their cheeks as they spin a wry tale of promises and pets, befuddled parents and a triumphant child.
