May I please, please have a pet? Our apartment is way too small for a pet, say Mom and Dad. But there’s always room in the smallest hut - everyone knows that! Even in the tiniest apartment, there’s a suitable spot for an animal. That’s why the little boy tries every suggestion to convince his parents of his wish. Sometimes there’s a penguin in the fridge, a crocodile swimming in the bathtub, or a camel sunbathing in the oven. Unfortunately, Mom and Dad still say "no." But if you can’t have a pet, you just have to get creative. - Children’s theme: The heartfelt desire for a pet - Space for childlike imagination - Necessity is the mother of invention - Colorful illustrations by the award-winning illustrator Katja Gehrmann.
