The more desperate for a pet a young narrator becomes, the more outlandish their suggestions--How about a boa constrictor? Why not an octopus? They accepts their family's objections with an open mind, but quite unhappily. By the end of the story the tenacious tyke has found a pet that couldn't possibly bother anyone...!
《我想养只宠物》是罗伦·乔尔德进军儿童书创作领域的处女作。罗伦曾看到一位朋友站在宠物店橱窗前,对着里面望眼欲穿,她由此产生灵感创作了这本绘本。故事中的小女孩想养一只宠物,可爸爸妈妈、爷爷奶奶却提出一大堆要求,不能这样也不能那样。究竟养个什么样的宠物才能让大家都满意呢?
