“My Pet Peeve” follows a little girl named Molly who is lonely and wanting a cat. Her father tells her she cannot have one. But Molly cannot accept “no” for an answer. One night, the cat, Munchkin, does an extraordinary thing that helps to change Daddy’s mind about cats.
An excerpt from this book:
As Daddy leaned down and picked up the kitten,
He now, also, was totally smitten.
Instead of demanding the kitten must leave,
He hugged it and called it my pet peeve.
“My Pet Peeve” has a meaningful message for all, with beautiful colors that tell the story and illustrations children will love. This picture book can be enjoyed by adults as well.
