Big Pet Day

Two stars of Australian picture books join forces to create an irresistible and unlikely pet!

Today is Pet Day in Lily's class. All the kids bring in their pets - hermit crabs, parrots, mice, puppies, ferrets and ducks - but Lily brings her dragon. Class smarty-pants Courtney says to Lily that dragons are only in fairy tales, so how could she have a dragon? However, when all the pets misbehave in the middle of the all-important pet parade, guess who (or what) saves the day?

This gorgeous and funny story about finding your voice is the first collaboration between two of Australia's leading picture book creators, Lisa Shanahan and Gus Gordon.
