Can I Keep It, Please?


Overview

From the award-winning author of Kitten and the Night Watchman comes a tender and relatable picture book about what makes a pet truly special. Evie’s pet is Sasha the cat. Sasha is the best pet ever. But Jenny has a friendly ferret. Garrett has cuddly guinea pigs. And David has a squawking parrot. Suddenly, to Evie, Sasha seems plain. And that makes Evie wonder…could there be a better pet for her? Until she realizes that all pets are special if you love them.
