Excellent book on responsibility
What child hasn't asked for a pet at some point in their childhood. What an excellent way to teach responsibility. This book shows the parent how to test a child's readiness for responsibilities, while showing the young readers the perils and pitfalls of having one's own pet business, as well as the rewards, and entertaining us all in the meanwhile. Well done. It's also fun to look in all of Marc Brown's books and find the hidden names!

Being Responsible can be Fun !
I am in awe of how Marc Brown has simplified the concept of responsibility, so that it may be understood by my two year old daughter. My two year old daughter summed this book up by saying; " Arthur showed his mommy and daddy he can take care of everyone's pets now he can have Pal . In my eyes that says it all !
The author has sucessfully done what was intended . He communicated an important moral concept to a small child , what being responsible is and how doing things morally right can be fun and rewarding.
Keep up the good work Marc Brown you are helping me communicate important moral, social, family, and educational values to my daughter.
