Super cute book! I enjoyed this read with my daughter. We had some good laughs and the artwork is adorable!

A beautiful illustrated book. What an ambitious little girl! She definitely has a love for animals and insects. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, Whimspire Books and NetGalley.

Thank you Netgally for letting me have a preview into this book

Thank you so much Whimspire Books, LLC and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.
Piper wants a pet, she knows she is responsible enough, all of her friends have pets, so why can she have one? That’s what she says to her parents every day, to prove to her parents she can do it she takes in any creature she can find to prove to her parents she can do it.
This was so funny, Piper loved all animals and bugs, she really just wanted an actual pet that she can love, play with and take care of. She took in so many bugs, amphibians and reptiles just to show what she’s capable of, though in doing so it disgusted her parents so much seeing all the bug in her bedroom.
This is a story that I know lots of young ones will enjoy, it’s funny, it’s a bit gross, it shows how to be kind to all creatures and shows how she learnt the responsibility she said she had. The illustrations were great and showed you in lots of detail what she was up to, I loved looking at her protecting more and more of the creatures and then even having her Bug Bed and Breakfast.

Cute storyline, cute characters and super innovative about how she tried to show to her parents that she was responsible enough. I was a bit let down her parents gave her a guinea pig in spite of it all, but a cute story nonetheless.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for granting access to this book
This is a charming book that teaches children about the responsibility that comes with owning a pet. This book showcases that in a very silly and engaging way. I believe that adults and children alike will enjoy this book.

A charming book! The colorful illustrations will certainly delight young readers! This children's picture book is a journey through the process of finding and selecting the perfect pet!

"Piper's Pet Pursuit" is the relatable story of an imaginative and excitable young girl named Piper who wants so badly to have a real, live pet. Her parents make up every excuse in the book to say no, but she can only do so much to take care of her stuffed dog, Duke, along with the neighborhood bugs and insects. Piper tries to show she's responsible and listens to her parents, but unfortunately, it gets jumbled up in translation. After enough time and confusion (from the parents), they give her a guinea pig! Piper has many ideas already brewing.
"Piper's Pet Pursuit" is a perfect story for younger readers to listen to and read alone. The text contains elementary-aged words, and the desire for a pet is universal among kids and adults alike. The illustrations are colorful and inviting; I felt drawn to the story as an adult, and my two kids (9 and 10-year-olds) did as well! It was fun to anticipate the next antic from Piper; I can visualize this character potentially having a series.

Piper wants a pet. When her parents say no, she finds other critters to befriend. This one was really cute, had really fun alliteration throughout, and was kid approved!!

Kid review: I liked how the girl looked in the pictures.
Mum review: this one didn't really work for us. My daughter forgot what it was about immediately after reading. I did really like the middle, with all the bugs and some cute jokes. But even I found the end a bit confusing and sudden.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own.
I must begin this review by stating Pipper's parents need to step up their protective measures against insects. Their house sounds condemned.
The book is fun to read and the illustrations are delightful. I could see myself reading this book over and over again as a child

Very creative book about a young girl wanting a pet. She coaxes all of the bugs into her house to "visit" and show how she cares for them. Eventually her parents are fed up with the "visitors" and....(you'll have to read the book) :) The illustrations are eye catching and go right along with the creativeness of the book!
Thank you to NetGalley and Whimspire Books, LLC for the advanced reader copy.

This is a lovely illustrated book telling the story of a determined little girl who is following her dreams of getting a pet. She devises of quirky ways to make her dream come true. The book would make a lovely present for any animal loving child.

The "reasonable" requests are pretty funny. I may start using that in my adult life for not so reasonable requests. Fun read with all the imagination for little ones.

Very funny. Great artwork! The story made me laugh out loud because I could see kids doing this in their quest to get a pet. Great story.

This is an adorable book. Piper wants a pet of her very own, but her parents always give her an excuse as to why she can't. Her parents have always told her to make everyone feel welcome in their home, so she takes that literally. She starts inviting all the "not so pet friendly" critters into her home. She turns her dollhouse into a bug house which her parents aren't too thrilled about. After a lot of frustration of relocating all the bugs Piper has brought into the house, her parents finally get her a pet of her own to care for. The illustrations are very vibrant, cute and funny. It's a great book for children who love animals.
Thank you NetGalley and Whimpshire Books for this eARC. #PipersPetPursuit #NetGalley

This book was so adorable! It shows great ways to handle how upset a kid can be when their parents say "no" to them having a pet. This validates their frustration while giving them a different perspective of patience and understanding.
Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for the digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased, honest review of the book.

Cute, whimsical, and beautiful illustrations!
I loved the bugamore bed and breakfast!
Something tells me Piper is going to be persistent about the obstacle course too!

This book is so adorable and "Persistent Piper" is so sweet! I love that she was trying to be the caretaker of ALL the things. Just a very simple and sweet book. I loved the pictures but especially the art of the characters!

"Piper's Per Pursuit" is a cute kids book about a girl named Piper who is determined to have a pet. She spends the day showing her parents how responsible she is by turning her grandmother's dollhouse into a home for a lizard she found outside her house. Her parents' response is to finally give her a pet, a guinea pig. This book has attractive illustrations and a unique storyline, which I appreciate in a kids book. I did find the ending a bit rushed, and I object to the parents getting her a single guinea pig as a pet, as it is not ideal to keep a guinea pig without a second for companionship. So for that, I'll rate this 4 stars.
