In this funny, feel-good first-pet book, one aspiring dog owner and
her parents ponder - in wildly imaginative and hilarious detail -
all the best and worst outcomes of bringing home more dogs than you
can (literally) shake a stick at. A young girl proclaims, "I want
100 dogs." In a twist, her parents agree, but they have just one
question: Where will 100 dogs sleep? Our protagonist revises her
request to 90 dogs. But how does one walk 90 dogs? A silly,
subtractive counting tale and an over-the-top ode to the joys (and
woes) of canine company, this sweet and surprising story proves
that no matter how boundless your enthusiasm, when it comes to
finding the perfect pet, sometimes less really is more. Written by
bestselling author Stacy McAnulty and illustrated with vintage
flair by Claire Keane, this clever and funny picture book will be a
new favorite for readers and pet lovers everywhere - whether you
have no dogs, one dog, or one dog too many.

This beautifully illustrated book tells the heartwarming story of a
little girl and a duckling, who both grow to understand what it
means to care for each other as they learn that love is as much
about letting go as it is about holding on. A little girl finds a
duckling who has wandered away from the park onto the city streets,
and takes it home to care for it. The baby duck requires constant
attention-early morning feedings, bathing, and tidying-until the
time comes to say goodbye. When her pet has grown too big for the
bath, the girl takes the full-grown duck back to the pond.
Afterward, she misses it and wonders if it remembers her. One day,
the duck comes back-with six ducklings of her own. * Lyrical text
