About the Book
When Tate sends letters to a variety of wild animals offering to be their best friend and protector, none of them accept her proposal, but just as she is about to give up, she receives a letter of her own.Book Synopsis
A sweet, funny picture book about an animal-loving girl who invites wild animals to live in her house and be her best friend--with mixed results! A tale told through letters that is perfect for all animal enthusiasts! Tate loves animals, but she worries about the ones who live in the wild--aren't they cold? Hungry? Lonely? She is determined to help and comes up with the perfect plan: she'll offer one a better life and they will be best friends! To her surprise, none of the wild animals she invites to live with her are impressed with her offerings--Orca is not interested in the kiddie pool, and Tiger would rather hunt than settle for cookies. Maybe Tate will have to look a bit closer to home to find her pawsitively perfect match. Told through letters, Tate's heartfelt hope to rescue a wild animal combined with the blunt hilarity of their responses makes this charming story perfect for anyone wild about animals! Fans of Can I Be Your Dog by Troy Cummings will enjoy this "tail"! The back of the book also offers ideas for children on how they can help both wild and companion animals!Review Quotes
"An appealing invitation to consider the nuances in there being 'no place like home.'" --Kirkus Reviews
