My New Pet,
written and illustrated by Melanie Bremner is a delightful story that any child
will enjoy reading, and all parents can appreciate.
Written in a simple rhyme scheme pattern, this story is
great for beginning readers, as well as a great read aloud. My eight year old
and I both really enjoyed the original, colorful illustrations. As a teacher, I
could think of a million things to discuss with students, like poetry for
example. While reading, My New Pet,
with my son, I counted several different themes, or lessons, I could easily
discuss with my son or students while reading, or afterwards in one of life’s
many teachable moments.
The story line was well written, and as the mother of a
young son, I really enjoyed the realism of the story. Yes, pets are fun to
want, and sometimes even have, but are a huge responsibility, and they may not
be appreciated by everyone in the house. I definitely liked and emphasized that
theme with my son as two dogs and two cats is plenty pets for me at the moment.
Overall, very cute story, with adorable illustrations!
