Say hello to many cute, cuddly, very small pets in this adorable picture book from Newbery Medal winner and author of the Henry and Mudge series, Cynthia Rylant.

In one happy neighbourhood, there live many cute and cuddly pets of diminutive size. There are the parakeets, Zelda and Marty; rabbit parents Fluff and Puff with all their baby bunnies; two little mice named Tomato and Potato; and, last but not least, corgis Cookie, Biscuit, and Muffin!

Though each animal friend may be small, they’re sure to get a big aww out of readers of all ages with their infectious charm.
