About this book
Most kids have dogs and cats and fish and guinea pigs. Penelope Rex has Mittens.
Penelope wasn't sure she even wanted a pet when Mittens came into her life. But now that he's here, she is determined to make the best of it.
Pets, however-especially ones that are six hundred pounds with six-inch-long teeth-can cause very big, very messy problems.
In this companion to We Don't Eat Our Classmates, Penelope Rex discovers the challenges and rewards (but mostly challenges) of pet ownership.
