PINKY and REX and the Just Right Pet By James Howe

During a family meeting, Pinky discovers that they will be getting a family pet. Although Pinky wants a dog, he gets outvoted and the family wants a cat. That day his sister picked out the cat and named it patches. Although Pinky wanted a dog, he begins to have a change of heart when the kitten comes to play with him and sleeps in his bed at night. After that night, Pinky becomes responsible and feeds the kitten and makes a play area for the cat. This book sends the message to not judge others based their appearance or previous misconceptions. Personally, I am a dog lover but I am sure if a kitten became a new member of my family, I would have a change of heart too.
