Today is Pet Day in Lily's class. All the kids bring in their pets - hermit crabs, parrots, mice, puppies, ferrets and ducks - but Lily brings her dragon. Class smarty-pants Courtney says to Lily that dragons are only in fairy tales so how could she have a dragon? However, when all the pets misbehave in the middle of the all-important pet parade, guess who (or what) saves the day?This gorgeous and funny story about finding your voice is the first collaboration between two of Australia's leading picture book creators.PRAISE for previous books by Lisa Shanahan and Gus Gordon:'Quirky, soulful and alive...a book to treasure, like a favourite song.'
