Prudence wants a pet. Desperately.
‘No,’ says Dad, ‘pets cost too much to keep.’
‘No,’ says Mum, ‘pets make noise.’
But Prudence is determined. She fi nds her own pet and it’s a . . . branch.
But Branch isn’t exactly the pet of her dreams, and neither is Twig, Mr
Round (a car tyre), or her baby brother Milo. Will Prudence ever find the perfect pet?
