Pet of a Pet

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Nash. On her family's farm, Tabitha has a pet horse, who has a pet cow, and so on down to the cat, whose pet is Tabitha. The repetitive text gets cumbersome and the ending is flat, but the way the animals bestow their own characteristics on their pet--the pig names his pet rooster Oink and teaches him to roll in mud--is entertaining, as are Nash's whimsical cartoon illustrations.
