The unique aspect of What Pet Should I Get? is that it does not have a definitive ending. The first time that I encountered this book, it was read to me in a read aloud. I felt frustration at the ending, so I'm sure the other students did! However, frustration aside, it is a great opportunity to allow students to ponder what pet they would get if they could choose anything they wanted. After they have made their decision, they can write their own ending to the book describing an adventure with their new pet! This book is appropriate for grades 1-3.
