The Pet Potato
Author(s): Josh Lacey
A funny story with a sweet, green-fingered resolution for any child who's ever begged their parents for a pet!
Albert is so desperate to get a pet, he'll take anything; a cat, a dog, giraffe. He's not fussy, so he's super excited when Dad finally brings a pet home. There's just one problem: it's a potato. Potatoes can't do anything a proper pet does - can they?
Branford Boase Award shortlisted Josh Lacey and World Illustration Award shortlisted Momoko Abe bring warmth and humour in perfect measure to this story, great for any child who's desperate for a pet!
