A spunky and imaginative little girl dreams of the best pet ever—a fuzzy baby raptor to snuggle. Our heroine can’t think of anything better than bringing home a baby raptor—all teensy and tiny, fluffy and funny. It would cuddle and play, stalk birds and dust bunnies, and curl up on laps. In short, it would be the perfect pet! Readers may notice striking similarities between the raptor’s behavior and that of a more common house pet. But whether their first love is dinosaurs or kittens, little people with big imaginations will definitely warm to this perfect picture book.
