This is an American English edition of the Big Book version of the popular Cambridge Reading title My Pet. Making shared reading fun, the book uses lively stories featuring natural and patterned language to encourage children in their first steps along the path to literacy. Is this the story of a girl and her dog, or of a dog and her girl? All is not what it at first seems! Humorously written and illustrated, My Pet provides plenty of scope for participation by all members of shared reading groups.
