I laughed out loud when I saw this title, and the book did not disappoint. This little boy is so good at arguing for a pet hippopotamus, although I kind of wondered if he was playing the long game and actually wanted his mom to realize how reasonable it would be to get a dog compared to a hippo
The characters are loveable, the illustrations are simple and bright, and there is solid information about animals.
Thanks so much to NetGalley for letting me read this

A young boy was eager to get a pet not just any pet but a rhinoceros. He tried convincing his mother for the same but to no favor. He then asked for other animals for pet but all good for nothing,
There were lot more discussions on where to keep either of said pets and how to feed them, etc.
At last his mother get him an animal which suited best for him. To know which pet finally chosen by his mother go for this entertaining child fiction with amazing illustrations by Nana Melkadze. Also, at last a good brief intro on all discussed animals for the children considering their targeted reader who read to know about those animals also.

What a fun book with fabulous illustrations about a boy who wants a rhinoceros for a pet, but his mother says, "NO!" He suggests other wild animals instead, each time hearing his mother's strong reasons why not. At the end, they make a compromise in this charming book that will make both kids and adults guffaw. A gem!

This is a cute story about a boy who wants a rhinoceros. His mother tells him no. So the boy suggests other animals, although he really wants a rhinoceros. His mom gives him lots of reasons why he can't have a rhinoceros. She suggests another animal instead. The illustrations are funny and animated. I definitely recommend this book.

Thank you to the author, Atlantic Publishing Group, Inc. and NetGalley, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This children's book is perfect for learning about discussion and compromise, and the overlap between imagination and practicality. The premise is very funny, and led us down a rabbit hole to find out more about rhinoceroses - very interesting and illuminating all-round as to why they don't make good pets - and both the kids and I enjoyed the humor and the illustrations. Highly recommend!
