Synopsis: Quoting from the book: Alan wants a pet animal, an animal that he can keep at home. When Alan and his father go for a walk in the country, Alan sees several wild animals that he wants to take home. But Alan learns on this walk, and later at the zoo, which wild animals must live in their natural habitats and which animals can be kept as pets. Woven into this lively, easy-to-read story are many interesting facts about animals, such as the way in which killdeer protect their young, why a fawn is usually safe during the first few days of its life, and why monkeys need the company of other monkeys. The sprightly drawings bring freshness and humor to Alan's experiences in his search for a pet.
