Trees Make Perfect Pets
Written By Paul Czajak
Illustrated by Cathy Gendron
Naperville, Illinois : Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, 2020. Picture Book.

On Abigail's birthday she makes a wish that many children make. She wishes for a pet! But Abigail doesn't want the usual pets that most children want, she wants a tree. She names her tree Fido and treats it just like she would any other kind of pet. She feeds it, keeps it in her room, takes it for walks, and teaches it to do tricks. When her tree is little, it is really easy to take care of. What will happen when her tree gets bigger?

This is the perfect book for plant lovers everywhere. It is so fun to see Abigail treating her tree the same way any animal owner would treat their pet. The love she has for her tree is heartwarming. Abigail is not afraid to be a little bit different because she has her best friend Fido, the tree, a friend that is always giving back.
