Description
Las mascotas pueden ser de muchos tipos. Hay perros, gatos, canarios, pericos, hamsters y serpientes. Sin embargo, el protagonista de este libro, un niño muy inteligente y vivaz, tiene la mascota más curiosa que hay en el mundo. Se trata de un libro, un pequeño y simpático libro rojo. Todas las tardes, el pequeño le pone una correa a su libro y lo saca a pasear al parque. Esto hace que toda la gente se fije en él y lo mire extrañado. El popular escritor e ilustrador Bob Staake, autor de Pájaro azul (publicado en Océano Travesía) vuelve a poner todo su talento e ingenio al servicio de un álbum ilustrado lleno de gracia, colorido e inteligencia. En este caso, estamos ante un emotivo homenaje al libro y a la lectura. There are lots of different kinds of pets, like dogs, cats, canaries, parrots, hamsters, and snakes. But the star of this story, a very smart and vivacious boy, has the strangest pet in the world: a small and friendly, red book. Every afternoon, he puts his book on a leash and takes it for a walk in the park. This makes everyone stare at him and give him odd looks.

Reviews
" The digital illustrations are wonderful--colorful, exaggerated, and whimsical. Readers will enjoy the silly details, like the depictions of some of the nasty behaviors of "other" pets. This book will tickle readers who have or long for pets. The rhyming scheme is reliable and children will enjoy predicting the last word in a stanza." --School Library Journal, on the English language edition
"Staake is known for his retro-looking illustrations full of bold colors and round-headed characters, and here his cityscapes are simply packed with detail, bringing to mind a much hipper Richard Scarry world. Fun for all, but bookworms who are allergic to traditional animal friends will most especially take a shine to this, begging to make this book their own personal pet." --Booklist, on the English language edition
