Reader Description

Petunia wishes that she could keep some of her pets rather than selling them all in her pet shop. Pete thinks of a good way to solve Petunia's problem.

After you have completed the Reader

Imagine two other people come to Petunia's pet shop looking for a pet to buy. Choose two more pets from Petunia's Pet Shop. Make up two characters and write about the kind of pet he or she would like, the pet that Pete suggests, and then the pet that Petunia thinks is perfect for them.
