Preparing to Adopt a Pet

Lola wants a cat, but Mommy says taking care of a pet is a lot of work. So Lola does her homework. At the library she finds books about cats and pet care and she and Mommy learn as much as they can. She pretends her stuffed kitty is real and practices taking care of it. When the time comes, Lola is allowed to pick out her new friend at an animal shelter. With patience and care, her kitten settles in at home.

Perfect for instilling a love of libraries and books in the youngest patrons, it's a winner.
– School Library Journal

A joyful exploration of books, libraries and sharing stories – this should be available in every library and children’s centre.
– Annie Everall, The Bookseller Children’s Buyer’s Guide
