"If I Could... Be a Pet!" was a wonderful book to read. Children are going to enjoy every page, whilst also soaking up every ounce of positivity the author has poured into it. Shona Darin has created the ideal book for young children, and it will serve as a huge pick-me-up. Shona has also used rhyme to tell her story, and it makes the reading experience that much more enjoyable. I am confident children will both be educated and entertained whilst reading and their attention will be hooked on the adorable illustrations by the talented Anne Zimanski. The hamster was my favorite. I highly recommend this book to anyone with children."
