Críticas

Roberton's premise is as sublime as it is simple, with a subtle message. Brilliantly, the illustrations vary just slightly from one version of the story to the next; it's their juxtaposition with the radically different textual perspective that generates the laughs. - Kirkus Reviews Roberton spins a clever he-said/she-said story about a girl's rescue of a squirrel-like creature in the woods. [...] It's a smart and not-too-serious introduction to the idea of empathy-and boundaries. - Publisher's Weekly Charming and original. - Huffington Post I've loved everything Fiona Roberton has done so far but I love this one even more. There's so much to engage both eyes and ears here. The story is cleverly constructed and both the main characters and the illustrations, enchanting. - Red Reading Hub Praise for The Perfect Pet: A hoot. - The Times [The Perfect Pet is] A gentle, funny, endearing story that's definitely recommended. - Bookbag [The Perfect Pet] is a witty tale with a lovely philosophical response - Families

Reseña del editor

There are two sides to every story.

A little girl finds a strange beast in the woods and takes it home as a pet. She feeds it, shows it off to her friends and gives it a hat. But that night it escapes. Then the beast tells the story of being kidnapped by the girl, who forcefed it squirrel food, scared it with a group of beasts and wrapped it in wool. Can the two beasts resolve their differences?

An eye-opening story that makes you look at things from a different perspective.

'Roberton's premise is as sublime as it is simple, with a subtle message. [...] Totally delightful.' - Kirkus Reviews
