Peanut

Peanut by Linas Alsenas 2007

Mildred is lonely, but then she gets a new pet. Although her pet Peanut is not a dog, she treats him as such. As she walks him in the park, she discovers that he is missing from the circus. She visits him there, and realizes he is happier at the circus, but she is alone again. Coming across another stray animal will certainly help her sadness subside, even if she is a little muddled about it’s true identification.

The fun contradictions of this story will delight young children. It will also remind them of the special companionship that having a pet can bring.

Appropriate for ages 2-6
