Prudence Wants a Pet, by Cathleen Daly, ill. Stephen Michael King, ISBN 9781741699654, Scholastic
Reviewed by Whitfield State School, QLD
Students at Whitfield State School recently read Prudence Wants a Pet—a picture book about a little girl who desperately wants a pet but her parents say ‘no’. Could a branch make a good pet? Perhaps a twig … ?
We love this fabulous artwork and writing sent in by some of the students, who are only 6 and 7 years old.

Well done Whitfield Students. What wonderful artwork. I am going to go to the library this School Holidays to borrow Prudence Wants a Pet so the other children in our family can also enjoy the story.
Wow, Summer, Tabitha, Monorom, Samatha and Taylah, I was so excited to see your wonderful art work up on the blog. Well done. You know I think you are all such good artists. Prudence Wants a Pet really was a funny book and I think you captured that so well in your pictures.

Well, your pictures made me want to read the book! I will have to go find it in our library. Have you read I Wanna Iguana by Karen Kaufman Orloff yet? I recommend that book since you are reading about kids who want a pet.
Happy day to you all from Seattle, WA
Thank you for sharing about ‘Prudance wants a Pet.’ It sounds like a great book. I will have to go out and buy it to share with my students when we learn about pets next year.
Wow! I wrote this book and I LOVE these wonderful pictures. I am so honored. What delightful artwork, Thank-you!
