“Trees Make Perfect Pets: A Story About Nature, Plants, and Gardening For Kids” by Paul Czajak
Abigail is set on finding the ideal pet, and she decides on Fido. He provides shade from the sun, follows her commands, and even helps her breathe easier. That’s right—Fido is a tree! However, not everyone agrees that having a tree as a pet is the best choice, especially as Fido begins to grow.
Can Abigail manage to keep her beloved pet? Come find out as we honor Arbor Day! We’ll be visiting Farmer Ben in our charming English garden for a fun gardening activity.
