Myrtle has a turtle, Sam has a lamb, and Tony has a pony. But Yvette and Evan don't have any pets... until the Better Pets emporium rolls into town featuring some spectacular possibilities!

The Handbag Hyena laughs at all your jokes, you'll always be warm with the Knittin' Kitten, and it will be impossible to have a bad day with the Chin-Up Chinchilla.

Which fabulous, fantastical pets will Yvette and Evan choose? The adoption fair next door may have a different kind of magic in store!

Bestsellers Leigh Bardugo and Liz Climo celebrate perfect pets everywhere in this rollicking tale.
