About the Book
Chris, a naturally curious boy, bombards his parents with lots of questions.
“Why is the sky blue? Why doesn’t the sun smoke if it’s so hot? Why can’t it rain cotton candy?”
Exhausted by his inquiries, his parents decide it’s time to introduce a pet into their family. For the first time, Chris has no questions to ask because he knows exactly the pet he desires. However, on adoption day, Chris needs to make a choice: will he discover his perfect pet at the local animal shelter?
