Many kids love animals and enjoy having pets. It’s even fun for them to explore what kinds of animals they would love to keep at home. Invent-a-Pet takes a closer look at using a machine to create the perfect pet. Here are several activities you can pair with the book, Invent-a-Pet.

About the Book
Written by: Vicky Fang
Illustrated by: Tidawan Thaipinnarong

Katie is an ordinary girl who longs for an extraordinary pet — something more spectacular than a simple goldfish. Then one day Katie comes home to find a gift from her mother: a mysterious machine designed to help her create that one-of-a-kind creature. Each time she feeds different items into the machine, out comes a marvelously colorful new animal — like a purple monkey, rainbow-spotted horse, and green bunny! But none of them is just right. Through trial and error, Katie figures out the formula for her absolutely perfect SURPRISE pet.
