Pet Mania! The Pigeon Wants a Puppy by Mo Willems
"Do you know what I want?
A PUPPY!"
And when Pigeon makes up his mind, he is immovable! He. Is. Adamant! He. Is. Demanding. But he makes his case with aplomb.
"Don't worry! I'll take care of it.
I promise I'll water it once a month.
Pigeon wants his puppy and he wants it now! A tantrum is brewing...
A little reality therapy is clearly called for. He needs to, er. actually see a puppy. And when he does...
AAAAAAAARRRGHH!! Puppies are GI-NORMOUS! And they have ginormously huge...
TEETH!
Pigeon suddenly has a change of mind, in the new edition of Mo Willem's best-selling The Pigeon Wants a Puppy (Hyperion, 2018 (rev. ed.). Pigeon rethinks the issue, and now he thinks he will settle for--a walrus! Willem's new revised board book version of his beginning readers's book has plenty of punch in this delightful tale of pet lust, with Willem's signature black-line illustrations and perfectly paced pages that kids won't want to resist turning. They'll want the book--if not the walrus! Says School Library Journal's starred review,"The incorrigible bird returns for his fourth full-length romp!"

Children join up to read stories to therapy dogs in the secure, welcoming environment of a library, and reading dogs are nothing new. You can find the dog stories at PetCareRx. These programs, which have been around for a while, have a range of catchy titles that are intended to spark interest.
