“Wanted the Perfect Pet” is about a boy who wanted the perfect pet. The boy had 27 frogs before he asked for a dog. His mom said no so he went out and put it in a newspaper ad. He waited and waited and the perfect pet to show up but nothing came. But then a duck saw the ad and then he dressed up as a dog and set off for the boy’s house. The disguise fell off and and the boy was shocked. But the boy took the duck in and made a pros list about him and showed the duck. The duck and boy were best friend and lived happily ever after. One connection I made was to a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book where the main character got a dog but the dog wasn’t right for them so they gave it to their grandma. Another connection I made was to my life as I wanted a dog and then we got the dog best for us. One more connection I made was to a movie I saw where the dog and the owner went through their life together and it was really good. All in All this book was really good and is good for 8-10 year olds.
