    About this audiobook

    After begging for a pet, a child’s mother finally says “yes.” But which animal will be the best pet? Using animal classification and habitat needs, the child narrows it down from Kingdom Animalia, through invertebrates to vertebrates. Reptiles and amphibians are out, and birds and fish are soon off the list. That leaves mammals, but which one? An elephant won't fit through the door, and a tiger would be too hard to walk. What's a child to do?

      I think I would really like to read the book to my kids. I didn't actually finish listening. The recording is rough draft and appears to be unfinished. Might want to check that out.

      I wish audiobooks showed pictures!
