My Pet Book | Bob Staake
15 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
Award-winning author-illustrator Bob Staake has created a rollicking picture book about a boy and his most unusual pet! Most pets are cats and dogs, but what happens when a boy wants a different kind of pet, one that doesnt meow or bark? Bob Staakes exuberant tale of a little boy and the pet of his dreams will appeal to anyone whose best friends are . . . books! Books make the perfect pets, the boy decides, and chooses a bright red one. When it goes missing, a lively adventure is in store for readers who love a happy ending. Soon kids everywhere will wish for a pet book of their very own.

This was really fun. The book by itself. However, I was lucky enough to be reading a library copy that contained someone's notes. They had a post- it note on over half the pages with comments or questions. So not only did I really enjoy this book, I enjoyed the experience of reading it through someone else's eyes.

I think these may be teacher notes? It is a copy from a university‘s teaching library.

My in-laws were visiting so we went to Boulder and of course I couldn't NOT go in the book store. 😅 My mother in law also insisted she buy something for me so this is what I got. My Pet Book is so adorable. The little boy get a pet book because he doesn't want a dog or cat. 📚📚📚📚/5

Just read this picture book about having a book for a pet to my son (again). The pictures are lovely—I could live in this page.

So I caved to Litsy peer pressure and checked. What fun! I hope to make 70 by the end of the year.

I bought this for my great-niece; she's only 2 but already loves books. And, of course, since Indigo had it on sale, I had to get one for me. Some of the rhymes are a bit clunky, but I think kids will still love it.

Suzze I read this for storytime once, and the kids liked it. (Mostly 2 and 3 year olds). 8y
Tanner @Suzze Oh good, I'm hoping that she'll like it too! 8y

Mehso-so

I like the idea of this book, not if only I liked the book. Instead of having a pet cat or dog, our guy has a pet book. They don‘t poop, or call, or shed. They are perfect. Until they get lost. The graphics are fun and colorful which is good. The reason I don‘t like this title is the harsh rhymes. It does not easily roll of the tongue.
