This is a sneak peek review of the new release children's book about pets called A Pet for Miss Wright. It is authored by Judy Young, illustrated by Andrea Wesson, and is published by Sleeping Bear Press. I was provided a copy of this children's book by Sleeping Bear Press, but was under no obligation to recommend it. My observations are my own.

Synopsis and Review of the Children's Book about Pets A Pet for Miss Wright

Miss Wright is a writer who lives alone. She's tired of being surrounded by nothing but basic silence when she's not typing away on her stories. So she decides to get a pet. Yet finding the right pet becomes quite a challenge for her, as she tries out various pets without finding the right match. Just when she's about to give up, she finds the perfect pet for her needs. This pet is so "perfect" that it even helps her with her latest manuscript!

I do recommend this reading product for a few reasons. Children love animals, and many of them would love to bring anything they find home to stay, but that's not usually feasible because of a variety of issues. Nonetheless, this book does cast light on the challenges of finding the right pet in a cute and humorous way and does show how having an animal can help give kids companionship that's often more reliable and constant, compared to human companionship. The illustrations by Wesson are bright and cheery, and have a water color feel to them, adding to the texture of the story. The photos are also large, as the book measures out to be 9 ¼" wide by 11 ¼" high.

This new release children's book about pets is due to be available at retail outlets like Amazon.com on April 1, 2011, and it has a Suggested Retail Price of $15.95 for USA buyers and $17.95 for Canadians. The ISBN Number for A Pet for Miss Wright is 1-58536-509-2. For more information on the publisher, Sleeping Bear Press, contact 315 Eisenhower Parkway, Suite 200, Ann Arbor, MI 48108.

    Excellent subject matter for every child. Most children and many adults do want a pet, and I can relate to Miss Wright. I have been looking for the perfect furry friend for about 3 months now. He is already named, I just gotta go find him.
