Dog Story — Kathy Henderson

Jo wants a dog more than anything else in the whole wide world, but her parents are horrified by the idea, and beg her to choose something else. So Jo gets a mouse, and a rabbit, and a cat, and a budgie bird, because, of course, they aren't going to be nearly as much trouble as a dog -- or are they? Then the new baby arrives! How will Jo's dream ever come true now? A wonderfully rambunctious picture book that's brimming with fun.
