Best Selling Books by Ellen Javernick

"It was Danny's birthday and his folks said he could get any kind of animal he wanted for a pet. Danny thought it over before he went to bed. 'All I really want is a turtle,'" he said. But instead, his family gets him a dog, a kitten, a rat, and a bird. Danny shakes his head after each gift is offered until finally he receives the present he's wished for all along. Accompanying each amusing stanza are Kevin O Malley's cheerful illustrations using design markers and colored pencil.
