Description

Frannie and her dog, Yorky, enter the pet that looks most like its owner contest.

Quick Summary

Frannie and her scruffy pup Yorky decide to enter a contest that sounds like the perfect recipe for goofy fun: the pet that looks most like its owner. It's a short, breezy read that's perfect for kids in kindergarten through third grade who love dogs, silly competitions, or just a good laugh, and it works great as a pick-up-and-read-again story for early readers who might be put off by longer chapters. Parents can rest easy there's nothing scary or overly dramatic here, just a light-hearted, picture-friendly adventure that celebrates imagination and the bond between a kid and their pet. As Frannie tries every goofy trick in the book to make Yorky look like her think mismatched hats, goofy glasses, and a perfectly placed bow young readers get to enjoy the humor of the whole set-up without any heavy moral overload. If your child enjoyed the pet-centric silliness of Mo Willems' "The Pigeon Wants a Puppy!" they'll likely get a kick out of this one, too.
