An endearing and environmentally friendly story about a girl's unlikely best friend...a tree! Abigail is determined to get the perfect pet. So she chooses Fido. He keeps her cool from the sun, stays where she tells him, and even gives her air to breathe. That's because Fido is a tree! But not everyone thinks having a tree as a pet is a good idea, especially when Fido starts to grow. Will Abigail be able to keep her perfect pet? Popular for Earth Day and beyond, Trees Make Perfect Pets empowers kids to think independently, sparks early environmental awareness, and delivers a clever, comforting storytime experience. Whether you're a parent nurturing green values, a teacher looking for a nature-themed read-aloud for your classroom, or a gift-giver in search of something refreshingly original, Trees Make Perfect Pets is a standout choice.  For fans of The Giving Tree , Sophie's Squash , and Miss Rumphius —with a new twist that kids find "absolutely delightful" (Goodreads).
