Everyone has a pet. Sam has a lamb and Myrtle has a turtle. Yvette and Evan don’t have pets – yet. They want to be thoughtful about the pets they choose and not have any regrets. They visit the adoption fair, but then the Better Pets emporium comes to town with some peculiar pets. A Springer Spaniel with spring coiled legs to reach the high stuff. A Water Moccasin to bring you a glass of water. What type of pet will they choose?

The book is full of creativity and chaos. The better pets names are puns and highlighted in a different colored text.The pictures illustrate the pun. The Hoarse Horse is a horse with and ice pack on its head coughing into a phone. The book is chaotically funny as the two friends search for the best pet for them.
