Anna’s Pet
by Margaret Atwood and Joyce Barkhouse
illustrated by Ann Blades
A classic story about the relationship between a child and the natural world from two of Canada's most beloved writers, now back in print.

Short chapters and easy-to-read text make this story perfect for beginning readers.

Reviews
Originally published in 1979 and 1980 as part of the "Kids of Canada" series, Six Darn Cows and Anna's Pet have both been long out of print. Now these two Canadian classics have been repackaged for a new generation of beginning readers....these two titles are perfect for children almost ready for chapter books. They also have nostalgic appeal for many parents as well.
Highly Recommended.
