My Pet Big book

by Bill Gillham

Published 24 June 1999
My Pet Big Book is one of three big books in the Beginning to Read C phase of Cambridge Reading. Making shared reading fun, the book uses lively stories featuring natural and patterned language to encourage children in their first steps along the path to literacy. Is this the story of a girl and her dog, or of a dog and her girl? All is not what it at first seems! Humorously written and illustrated, My Pet provides plenty of scope for participation by all members of shared reading groups.

The owner is evidently not entirely in control of the strongminded pet and the humour of the situations depicted will appeal to young readers.
