MY PERFECT
PUP Sue Walker
Illustrated by Anil Tortop
The moment Milly and Max entered the pet shop, the tiniest pup was on his very best behaviour.
P O H S P U P T C E F PER
‘I want a pretty pup,’ said Milly. ‘So I can brush it, and primp it, and preen it.’
‘I want a clever pup,’ said Max. ‘So it can learn tricks and ride in the basket on our bicycle.’
‘Walk this way,’ said the pet shop owner. ‘I’m sure we’ll have the perfect pup for you.’
