really adorable story and illustrations
Prudence desperately wants a pet and is determined to have one. Great story, wonderful illustrations.
Prudence desperately wants a pet, but her parents are not so thrilled with the idea. So Prudence takes it upon herself to find her own pet...a branch, a twig, a shoe, her baby brother...
I loved the imagination and humor in this story, right down to the final word, which brings the story round full-circle. The illustrations did not do much to enhance the story for me, but fortunately the text carries the story well enough on its own.

Prudence really wants to have a pet, but her parents have a bunch of reasons why she can't have one. Luckily, Prudence is imaginative & finds pets that are not messy - like Branch. But something bad happens to all of Prudence's pets, requiring her to find new ones - but none of them are quite right, or last quite long enough. Prudence, however, is a determined girl - and waits patiently for a pet.I found Prudence's parents to be very mean, destroying all her pets the way they did, not caring about Prudence's connection to them. (Her dad turns her first pet, Branch, into firewood!!! How rude!) I liked the format of the book though (long) and Prudence's determined creativity. Three cheers for Branch!
