Wanted The Perfect Pet written by Fiona Robertson. This book is about a boy named Henry who has always wanted a dog. One day he asked his mom if he could get a dog and she always said no. Henry dreamed of having a dog that would fetch for balls and play every day with him. Later that day there was a duck looking at the newspaper and he saw an ad that said a boy was looking for a pet dog. The duck wanted a friend that would play ping pong with him and play with him every day. So the duck thought to himself that he would dress up as a dog and go to Henry’s house so he would think he’s a dog and keep him. The duck went to Henry’s house and Henry opened the door and was super excited that he had finally found a dog. Henry played with the dog until he started noticing the dog couldn’t exactly run and the dog ran around the corner and his fake ears and tail fell off. Henry realized that the dog was actually a duck but he soon kept the duck and loved him from there on. One connection I have is once when I was in preschool and I didn’t really like this person but I played with him at recess and he was actually really nice and fun. I learned to always give people a chance.
