Bob Staake’s exuberant tale of a little boy and the pet of his dreams will appeal to anyone whose best friends are... books! Books make the perfect pets, the boy decides, and chooses a bright red one. When it goes missing, a lively adventure is in store for readers who love a happy ending. Soon kids everywhere will wish for a pet book of their very own.

Full of extra visual jokes. Guaranteed to make readers laugh.

Andrea Reece, Lovereading

Evocative, colourful and wonderfully inviting.

The Bookbag

Wonderfully crazy tribute to books and young bibliophiles

Red Reading Hub Blog

Inventive, playful rhymes set a jolly pace in this amusing and engaging tale.

Teach Primary Magazine

Marriage of classic illustration brought to life by modern technology. Instantly recognisable style

Magpie That Blog

Quirky. It must be read and seen, to be believed. You will not be disappointed.

EYE

This book will tickle readers who have or long for pets.

School Library Journal

Fun for all, but bookworms who are allergic to traditional animal friends will most especially take a shine to this, begging to make this book their own personal pet.
