This week’s box of goodies comes from our pals at Roaring Brook Press and MacKids Books, and it’s pawsitively meowsome!

Better Pets, written by Leigh Bardugo and illustrated by Liz Climo, follows pet-seeking pals Yvette and Evan on their search for a new furred, finned, or feathered friend. When the pair find themselves unsure about the animals at their local adoption event, they are invited to another pet fair, one unlike any other!

At the Better Pets fair, there are all number of incredible animals that can do impossible things. A Springer Spaniel (with spring for legs) to reach the high shelves! A water moccasin snake who can bring you a glass of water at night! Yet all these fantabulous pets don’t seem like a perfect fit. Could it be that the perfect pet is simply the one who’s a perfect fit for each person?

This is a delightfully silly yet ultimately adorable and heartwarming book, and we so enjoyed it. Plus, we were lucky enough to get an awesome art print of the You-Can Toucan, a sweet postcard from Leigh Bardugo’s pup Freddy, and this very snazzy pet bandana (which our own best pet Cheese was happy to model).

Big thanks to Roaring Brook Press and MacKids Books for this awesome care package, and be sure to check out Better Pets on bookshelves now!
