PET DAD

Sam wants the perfect pet, but instead realizes she has the perfect dad in this charming and hilarious picture book that's great for father's day.

Sam wants a pet. Sam's dad wants NO pets. So Sam, who never takes no for an answer, gets the only pet she can: a pet dad. Dad is a great pet--he loves playtime, tummy rubs, and scratches behind the ears. But every time Sam tries to get him to sit, or fetch, or chase, dad barks NO. Sam doesn't take no for an answer. How will she train her perfect pet (without getting a time-out)?

Hilariously relatable and with ultra-cute art, Sam's Pet is perfect for kids who love or want pets--or who already have the perfect parents to make up for it.
