Their friendship may be a lot of work—but at the end of the day, they love each other! Experience the excitement and mystery surrounding a new pet (and a new friend) in this joyful picture book from acclaimed author and illustrator Karl Newsom Edwards.A Bank Street Best Book of the Year"Cheerfully ingenuous...Totally, infectiously ebullient."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred review"A joyous look at the work and play that go into pet ownership and friendship."--Booklist"The concise, cheery text gently explains what to expect when a newcomer joins the household, [and] the illustrations are cartoonlike and sweet.
