About this listen
Narrated by David McCormack, the voice of Bandit Heeler (Bluey's dad) in the hit show BLUEY!
Embark on an endearing journey of friendship, responsibility, and the unexpected joy of companionship in "Penny Pangolin Wants A Pet." This charming tale, perfect for fans of "Curious George" and "Berenstain Bears," introduces young listeners to the adorable Penny Pangolin, who longs for a pet to call her own.
The story opens on Penny's birthday, where instead of the pet she's been dreaming of, she receives... a plant. Though it isn't the pet she asked for, Penny's big heart leads her to cherish her new green friend.
Yet, despite her devotion, the quiet plant can't quite fill the companionship gap that a pet would. As Penny contemplates the perfect pet, she encounters a distressed "bearcat" actually a red panda cub leading to an adventure that teaches her about empathy, wildlife, and the joyous unpredictability of friendship.
Through engaging text, "Penny Pangolin Wants A Pet" highlights the significance of caring for others, whether they're plants, pets, or each other. It emphasizes the responsibility involved in pet ownership, making it an excellent conversation starter for families considering adding a pet to their home. Moreover, this delightful narrative subtly educates listeners about the diverse and endangered animals native to the Eastern regions, like the red panda. The book encourages respect and empathy for wildlife, often misunderstood or misrepresented.
At the end of the book, don't miss the special section about pangolins, their critical endangerment, and how each one of us, no matter our age, can contribute to their conservation.
There's also a page showing all the background critters hidden throughout the book's illustrations, making sure to engage your child even more.
Kids ages 3-8 will love this heartwarming tale. Join Penny and discover why the best friends are often the ones you least expect! Have a pango-perfect day!
