"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.

Such a cute book that is great for littles ones getting their first pet. My niece has had cats her entire life and had to learn real quick when she got a dog for Christmas 5 years ago. This was adorable and I’m recommending it to all my girlfriends that are about to become new mothers.

Thank you to Whimspire Books and Netgalley for allowing me an advanced copy of this book. My daughter and I read it together and this will definitely be a must have to add to our library.

Piper is a curious and excited little girl that loves everything about owning a pet. Only she does not have one. Instead she decides to welcome every creature that comes in or near her home. Which creates a very playful and VERY colorful journey for her parents. This book is lighthearted, entertaining, funny, and extremely colorful. The pictures were so well illustrated. We LOVED it.

Piper's Pet Pursuit is a quirky, cute story about a girl who longs for a pet.
My daughter and I loved the plot and the artwork.

From a parent's perspective, the facial expressions of the parents did not coincide with what was being said. Some of the sentences could have been more plainly written.

I would rate Piper's Pet Pursuit by Cortney Renae Cino 4 out of 5 stars.

It was cute. A little choppy but fun interpretation from a kids point of view. Reminded me so much of my daughter. A fun way to teach a kid about responsibility but hopefully they don’t do what Piper did. Thank you NetGalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book was cute. The illustrations were adorable and the story idea was very unique. The length I thought was good for basically any age of child, and the story itself was different than anything. I’ve read. I did find the insect portion to be slightly odd, but overall this was cute.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Whimspire Books for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a children's book. This is a cute fun sotry, a little tongue in cheek but enjoyable to read even as an adult. Very nice colorful graphics. I can see how this would be an easy book to talk to children about pets. 4 stars

I thought Piper's Pet Pursuit was an absolutely adorable picture book! Coupled with pretty art, precocious young Piper desperately wants her very first pet despite her parents frequent no's. This isn't enough to stop her, and she tries her best to show her parents how responsible she is by taking care of creatures like squirrels, frogs, beetles, and ants! In the end, her efforts pay off and her parents reward her with a brand new pet.

I'm not sure about this. The premise was very cute but I don't know that parents would love this for their children - it kind of is teaching manipulation. Also while i wouldn't want my kids to be afraid of bugs I also wouldn't want them to befriend them.

A very sweet children's book about a young girl's silly animal encounters as she tries to prove to her parents that she can handle the responsibilities of a house pet. The illustration is beautiful and the text is compelling enough for a child of any age!

This was absolutely adorable. The pictures were great and such a cute story. My son is an animal lover so he loved to see all the animals in the book. I will be buying a hard copy of this.

A perfect read for the strong-willed animal lover kiddo in your life! Super entertaining to read. It’s a great in between level of being short enough sentences that it can keep a toddlers attention span, but the vocabulary is more advanced than what you would see in something like a board book. Absolutely love!

Piper really really wants a pet and has some unconventional picks before the perfect pet enters her life. Piper's Pet Pursuit is a funny picture book about a situation pretty common for kids: wanting a pet. The topic is covered in a humorous way and the illustrations show all the silly details. This would be a great bedtime story for younger kids.

Thanks to Whimpshire Books and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

Extremely hilarious! This picture book takes "malicious compliance" to the next level, where the protagonist wants to take care of all the animals to the absurd level of taking care of cockroaches and feeding ants.

The narration is upbeat and full of positivity, encouraging determination and creativity of a child.

The illustrations were vivid and stylized, my only complaint is that some of the elements of the pictures looked like cloned / copy pasted (why are all butterflies looking the same just different colours?).

Would make a great bed-time story for younger children.

Thank you Netgalley and Whimspire Books for the arc.

Okay, this is the cutest book! And honestly, I love the whole story! Piper is determined to have a pet and she shows how responsible she is through the stuffed animals and all the critters she decides "to help" along the way. I love how she believes she is making all the bugs comfortable, and her Mom and Dad keep ruining her attempts. I think her last ditch effort of having bugs as pets totally helped with her "reasonable request" of having a pet. I loved this story! 5 stars all the way!

This was such a comforting read. It provided me with so much comfort and reminded me of my childhood. I believe this book could even be read by readers who don't regularly read Children's fiction. This is a book to get you out of a reading slump and bring you the joy and motivation needed to pick up another book.

While I write this, I sit and smile at how pure Piper is. While her parents see harmful and bacteria-carrying insects, Piper sees new crawling companions. If I were a bug, I'd pay any fee to stay at the Bugmore Bed & Breakfast. In the future, Piper should go into hospitality. Her loving and welcoming personality will warm the hearts of both bugs and humans.

Thank you NetGalley and Whimpshire Books LLC for providing me with this ARC.

A cute little story about a little girl who really wants a pet. Her parents keep telling her no, so she begins to embrace the creepy crawlies around her home as pets. The illustrations are cute and bold and the story is humorous and light.

Piper is a little girl who adores animals. She is absolutely desperate to have a pet. Unfortunately Piper's parents give her lots of excuses as to why she can't have a pet.
When Piper finally opens a bed and breakfast for all the animals she has acquired in her dollshouse, her parents finally come round!

Great book for children who are animal lovers as well as children are still trying to get their own pet at home! Parents will also enjoy it as it gives their perspective as well!

The illustrations are engaging throughout and will have both adult and child enjoying the story!

Nice drawings, but the writing was not very good. The ending was very abrupt.
I would recommend it to kids who love animals.

A fun book showing a girl who is adamant she is mature enough to have a pet. Now, normally I am turned off books that just encourage the young to indulge in pester power until they get a household member they are unqualified to look after, just because someone in a book once was, but this is different – the girl is going through all the hoops to show she will care for and tidy up after a critter, and anyway – she's got a host of them now, in the bug palace she's built instead!

This then doesn't encourage the young reader to demand a pet, but merely shows the whole family how much worse a Plan B could be. As such it's a humorous piece, and a really bright, colourful and pleasant one – cartoonish, but sensible, featuring a character doing something I dislike but not so as to be emulated by all and sundry, and with an all-round appealing touch. The ironic narration from the girl is a final piece of the credit to this, which is a strong four stars.
