Melissa's Octopus and Other Unsuitable Pets

Melissa, Thomas, Betty and Arthur all have one thing in common…their EXTREMELY unsuitable pets! There are certain animals that make suitable pets, like a cat, a dog or a guinea pig. Then there are other animals that definitely make UNSUITABLE pets, like an octopus, a warthog or an elephant. They are much too large, too messy and, well, just a tad free-spirited. They also have a tendency to break things…like floors, ceilings and tables. But can you guess what makes the MOST unsuitable pet EVER? Here’s a clue…he has a long, scaly green tail and VERY sharp teeth. Comical and original, this animal-filled book will be a delight to parents and children alike. Make sure to watch out for a rather delicious surprise ending…This is a riotous new book from picture book master Charlotte Voake that asks the reader – what exactly makes a pet unsuitable?

Charlotte Voake

Born and raised in Wales, Charlotte says that book illustration is “the only thing I ever wanted to do,” and she certainly has made a brilliant career of it. Skipping formal training in art, she studied art history at London University and worked at a gallery before embarking on a freelance career in illustration. Her illustrations are widely loved for their gentle wit, quiet observation, airy exuberance and utter charm. Her picture books include Ginger, winner of the Smarties Prize and its prequel, Ginger Finds a Home, which shows how the loving ministrations of a little girl transformed the title character from stray to pampered pet. More recently, Charlotte has written and illustrated Tweedle Dee Dee; Hello Twins, winner of the British Book Design and Production Award; and Pizza Kittens, winner of the Smarties Prize.
