Fulfilled by our friends at Books by splitShops

by Jenny Turnbull (Author), Izzy Burton (Illustrator)

A sweet, funny picture book about an animal-loving girl who invites wild animals to live in her house and be her best friend--with mixed results! Back matter also offers ideas for children on how they can help both wild and companion animals!

Tate loves animals, but she worries about the ones who live in the wild--aren't they cold? Hungry? Lonely?

She is determined to help and comes up with the perfect plan: she'll offer one a better life and they will be best friends! To her surprise, none of the wild animals she invites to live with her are impressed with her offerings--Orca is not interested in the kiddie pool, and Tiger would rather hunt than settle for cookies. Maybe Tate will have to look a bit closer to home to find her pawsitively perfect match.

Tate's heartfelt hope to rescue a wild animal combined with the blunt hilarity of their responses makes this charming story perfect for anyone wild about animals!
