Trees Make Perfect Pets

An endearing and environmentally friendly story about a girl's unlikely best friend...a tree!

Abigail is determined to get the perfect pet. So she chooses Fido. He keeps her cool from the sun, stays where she tells him, and even gives her air to breathe. That's because Fido is a tree! But not everyone thinks having a tree as a pet is a good idea, especially when Fido starts to grow. Will Abigail be able to keep her perfect pet?
