A cute story about wanting a pet and going through different animals/bugs to show that Piper is ready to take a care of a pet. A cute book for animal loves and children who are trying to get a pet themselves. I liked Piper's drive to get a pet and the many different ways she tried to show her parents that she was ready to take a care of a pet herself

Piper desperately wants a pet after her friend and cousin have real ones, rather than stuffed animal.

Piper is referred to "persistent" Piper by her parents after constantly requesting a real pet. Piper makes friends with unexpected visitors after taking her parents teaching of making others feel welcome in her own home. These unexpected guests include insects whom her parents don't view as pets. Piper's parents decide that she has demonstrated responsibility and gets a real pet.

This is an entertaining picture book of a girl inadvertently getting a pet after welcoming bugs into her home. I love the illustration by Luis Peres. I highly recommend this book for its warm illustrations that blend very well with the story.

Piper's Pet Pursuit is a fun read that has lovely illustrations. In this book, animal lover Piper is committed to wanting a pet. From her parent's continuous refusal, she proves to them that she is able to take care of a pet through the good habits that her parents taught her. In the end, from all the bugs and animals around the house that Piper keeps bringing in, she gets the pet that she wanted!

This is just an adorable story about a little girl who loves animals and is desperate to have a pet. The illustrations are also very cute, and perfect for the book.

When Piper's parents come up with a variety of excuses to explain to her why she cannot have a pet animal when other kids around her have cats and birds, she decides to apply her parents' instructions on hospitality in a way that leaves them flabbergasted.

Piper's parents are so taken aback by her use of the vintage dollhouse given to her by her grandmother - with which the little girl opens a Bed and Breakfast for some, ahem, unusual guests - that they finally crack!

And in the end, Piper gets her pet. Except it isn't really the end, because it is just the beginning of Piper's plans for her new, parentally-approved pet...

Such an adorable story! I loved Piper and how persistent she was. The ending was sweet, too. Recommend this book for all kiddos!

I absolutely love the humor in this! And the illustrations were bold, vibrant, and fun. It's a cute story with a happy ending. The only thing that kept it from being 5 stars was some of the forced alliteration was a bit much. The story was strong enough without it.

Piper's Pet Pursuit by Cortney Cino is an engaging book that will have kids laughing at the antics Piper goes through in pursuit of the perfect pet. Piper wants a pet and wants to show her parents that she can take care of one so she shows them all the ways she can be a good pet owner.

This book is very relatable to young readers. As a 2nd grade teacher, we do an opinion writing lesson on what animal is the perfect pet and why. This would be a great mentor text to get them engaged in the topic and get them excited about writing.

As a parent this is a great book to have children predict if Piper finds a pet or not, what pet that might be, what pet they think would be the perfect pet and why, etc. After each pet you can ask your child if that animal would make a good pet and why or why not. There are so many great ways to work on reading comprehension with this book.

The pictures are engaging and beautiful. This book will have parents and young readers hooked from the first page.

There are so many great reasons to read this book and as a teacher and a parent I am so glad there is literature like this to engage students and get them thinking and talking about text.

Teachers and parents, do yourself a favor and pick up this book on January 9, 2024. I know I will!

Thank you NetGalley and Courtney Cino for voluntarily letting me read this book and give an honest review.

I could imagine my students groaning and laughing as I read this story. As a first grade teacher, I think young children will find this book very humorous. It would be a good mentor text to use during a persuasive writing unit.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and netgalley for my gifted copy.

I had my niece and nephew over and they always want me to read them a book with animals in it. They loved this one!! I had so much fun reading this one to them, and we all loved the illustrations. I definitely recommend this one!

The drawing in this book is exquisite! If I was reading this book when I was a kid, it is definitely one I would just stare at. I especially loved all of the intricate drawings of animals. Initially I was thinking that I would not want my child to read this just because I would not want to give them the idea of bringing bugs into the home, but the end does a very good job of recommending that children don’t do that.

This was such a fun book with the cutest illustrations!

Kids will enjoy the silliness of hosting bugs and the parents will be able to relate to the fictional parents' reactions.

This book is adorable! I love how Piper demonstrated persistence and got the pet she deserved. Adorable story and beautiful illustrations.

This story is adorable. I read this with my son who can relate to Piper. He really wants a pet, but I keep telling him he is a little too young. I love how Piper used her imagination and cared so well for all the little creatures she met. The book is also a little silly, so my son had some good laughs too. Overall, a sweet book with a fun message for children.

This is cute children’s book about a little girl who wants a wet so she does her best to show she can take care of other creatures. The illustrations were great

Piper is a cute and determined little girl who adores animals and would love to have a pet. This is why she welcomed strange animals into her home. I love how innocently she believes the animals can be petted. Her parents' reaction made me laugh. This book is very sweet, with adorable illustrations, and I love it.

This is a very sweet children’s story about a young child who wants a real life pet but is currently stuck with her stuffed puppy teddy.

The illustrations are cute and the reading is easy

Darling story about a little girl who really has her parent's number when it comes to negotiating for a pet! She should be a lawyer when she grows up and I hope to read for about her!

Beautiful illustrations as well!

Thank you to the publisher for gifting me a copy. It is my pleasure to write an honest review!

The illustrations!!! How do you do it, author/artist?! It’s eye popping good!

It feels like I just watched a really fun animated video reading this storybook!

It is about a little girl who is trying to convince her parents to keep a real pet. When they continue to say no, she tries to be friends with the “visitors” at their house and their garden which her parents consider them to be pests and can’t be considered as real pets.

Well, read the book to know if Piper really gets to get a real pet in the end!

Thank you, Whimspire Books, for the advance reading copy.

Piper is an adorably spunky and persistent child who really wants a pet.
The illustrations and story are perfect for small children. It made me chuckle as I read it.
