About A Pet For Petunia
Product Description Meet Petunia. More than anything, Petunia wants a pet. “I’ll feed my pet every day,” she promises her parents.“I’ll take her for walks. I’ll read stories to her and draw her pictures.” Petunia knows she can take care of a pet, but what happens when the pet she most desires is a skunk? Review Enthusiastic and single-minded, Petunia makes delightful company; kids will recognize themselves and clamor for rereads. --Publishers Weekly "A simple, beguiling story greatly enhanced by pictures by an artist with a superb eye for line & composition. Bravo Paul!" --Maurice Sendak " ...made me laugh out loud - Petunia's smile is infectious & the denouement is spot on. " --Nancy Pearl The illustrations leave much white space for Petunia's personality to soar. ...expressive charcoal-rendered lines coupled with accents of purple watercolor suit the story well and add to its sophistication. --Starred review, School Library Journal ...Matches a charming girl named Petunia with a thoroughly inappropriate pet... --The New York Times About the Author Paul Schmid is the author and illustrator of A Pet for Petunia and Hugs from Pearl.
