Digby David slammed the door, and dumped his bag upon the floor. “Daddy! I DEMAND a pet,Why have I not got one yet?”Digby David wants a pet, but not just any pet – it has to be TWICE as big as Reuben’s guinea pig and even better than Lily Jean’s cat.
Digby David’s Daddy does what he’s told, and soon Digby has a guinea pig, which he loves with all his heart… for half a day. Digby demands bigger and better, Daddy’s hair gets greyer and greyer, and when Digby’s dog gets boring too, he insists Daddy buy him…
a gorilla! A hilarious tale with a ‘be careful what you wish for’ message, especially if you wish for a gorilla and don’t look after it properly.

Joanne –
THE PET, an hilarious picture book form Catherine Emmett and David Tazzyman (illustrator of Mr Gum and You Can’t Take the Elephant on the Bus) about the perils of choosing a pet if you aren’t prepared to look after it – the subtitle Cautionary Tales for Children and Grown Up gives a hint of the flavour of this book, which has a Hilaire Belloc-type flavour ( and ending) I think parents will enjoy this as much as children.
