Some are too scary, some are too smelly, some are too wiggly, and some are too giggly. Can Mabel find the perfect pet for her family? Not noisy or scary or covered in spikes. She’d choose something friendly that EVERYONE likes. Mabel’s family is letting her pick what kind of pet to get, and she is determined to find the very BEST one. “Any pet you like delivered to your door,” promises the sign. But what if the ants are too tiny, the hyenas too giggly, the owl too loud? What if the snake almost strangles Granddad and the skunk wants to spray the baby? None of the pets she tries out seems like the right fit. Readers will love following through several comical reveals until Mabel meets her furry match (not what you might guess!). Best-selling author Smriti Prasadam-Halls’s hilarious rhyming read-aloud and Rosalind Beardshaw’s charming illustrations will have kids laughing—and dreaming of their own quirky pets.

Like family, pets provide us unconditional love and support during our most vulnerable moments, asking for nothing in return. Yet pets are rarely included in family violence prevention, detection, or intervention initiatives. Victims of abuse often choose to remain in the abusive home if no safe place of refuge exists for their animals. Protection of their pets often comes at a perilous price. Author Andrew Campbell survived his own familial abuse in great part due to the support and unconditional love of his own pet. His compelling personal story inspired his groundbreaking research about the role that pets play in protecting victims of family violence. Campbell shares how when pets are included in family violence prevention plans, we can better provide support at the very time the victims need it most.
