A joyful rhyming Suessian romp that puts a playful twist on getting a pet.

If it's wet, it isn't a pet!
You can play with a puppy and snuggle a bunny, but as much as you wish, you can't pat a fish.

A visit to the pet shop is just the beginning of this delightful, insightful and fun-filled story of not getting what you wished for!
