* JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD SELECTION
엘리자베스는 너무나도 애완동물을 기르고 싶어합니다. 하지만 부모님은 절대로 애완동물을 기를 수 없다고 하시네요. 부모님은 엘리자베스에게 애완동물 대신에 성인장을 하나 사줬습니다. 선인장은 언제나 엘리자베스가 하는 말을 조용히 들어주기는 합니다만, 꼭 껴안아 주기는 어렵지요.
선인장 대신에 애완동물을 기르고 싶은 엘리자베스... 하지만 부모님은 여전히 이런저런 이유를 들어서 안된다고 합니다.
말은 너무 크고, 개는 너무 시끄럽고, 고양이는 집안 가구들을 긁어놓고... 새, 토끼, 거북이, 물고기, 기니아피그, 쥐 등 모든 동물들마다 나름대로의 이유를 대며 안된다고 하네요.
그러다 엘리자베스가 드디어 발견한 완벽한 애완동물은, 크지도 않고, 조용하고, 가구를 긁지도 않고, 많이 먹지도 않는 그런 동물입니다. 이제 부모님도 더 이상 반대할 명분이 없겠지요. 그 동물은 바로...

Book Description
Elizabeth really, really, wants a pet. But her parents do not. Instead they give her a cactus. Even though Elizabeth's new plant proves to be a good listener, Elizabeth still really wants a pet. When Elizabeth campaigns to find the right pet, her family imagines some hair-raising possibilities, until Doug comes along—who is, without a doubt, the most unusual, perfect pet of all.
School Library Journal
Palatini adds her own brand of offbeat humor and an unexpected ending to the traditional story of a child trying to convince her parents that she should have a pet. Elizabeth accepts the substitute cactus plant ("-it had quite a prickly sense of humor") and even names it, but she doesn't give up, surprising her parents in bed, in the bathroom ("Catch Them Off Guard"), and at the dinner table. While she enumerates the advantages of each animal, requesting everything from a horse to a rat, her parents counter with the negatives. Finally, the child finds her own solution. She adopts a bug, names him Doug, and provides him with a perfect habitat, good food, and companionship. He is the perfect pet, and Elizabeth loves him for his differences and individuality. Mother, on the other hand, is not happy with the idea. There is a happy ending, though, as Doug joins the family on the couch with a bowl of popcorn. The finely crafted illustrations in both delicate pastel shades and bright colors combine realistic pictures of animals and people with cartoon elements and an engaging little bug. For storytimes, combine this winner with Liesel Moak Skorpen's All the Lassies (Dial, 1970; o.p.) and Judith Viorst's poem "Mother Doesn't Want a Dog." Good for individual or group sharing.
Booklist
Elizabeth won't take no for an answer when her parents refuse to get her a pet. Although she likes her pet cactus, Carolyn, she really wants something that moves, so she hatches plan after plan, determined to get what she wants. She tries "Element of Surprise," waking her parents up at night to request a horse. "Father yawned, 'A horse is too big.' / Mother sighed, 'Our yard is too small.'" Elizabeth receives similar responses when she tries "Catch Them Off Guard" to request a dog, and the "Full Stomach" approach to ask for a cat while at the dinner table. Nothing works, but just as Elizabeth runs out of ideas, she discovers Doug, a bug, right on her rug. Then, she has to convince her mother that Doug is perfect. "Think we should have said 'yes' to the dog?" whispers Father to Mother. Whatley's bright, double-page spreads are hilarious, depicting the best- and the worst-case scenarios of pet ownership. Great for reading aloud; children will delight in Elizabeth's resourcefulness and persistence. |
