I do love Oliver Jeffers' books and this is no different.

It's a great take on the difference between ownership and companionship. And also a great take on what makes a great pet - it's a little bit different for everyone, Wilfred learns, Well, sort of...

The illustrations are wonderful - as usual - and I liked the quirky mix of realistic and stylized.

This is a great read and a great opening to a discussion about why wild animals may not make the greatest pet, in a humourous and delightful way, of course!

Highly recommended!
