Animal Crackers - Ruby Wright

My children love animals. Last night, after feeding and walking our real pets, I then spent a considerable time attending the wedding of two toy penguins (food served: salad). Imagine my joy at finding a book whose hero is just as obsessed with animals as my gang.

Maisie is desperate for a pet. After Mum says their flat is too small, a packet of animal crackers helps to grant her wish. Bright, brilliant illustrations and a charming story of dreams and hopes.

Who knows, if penguins can get married, then animal crackers can become pets!
