A dog, a cat, a bird, a fish great pets to have. But if you had your wish why not choose one out of the ordinary? Why not a pet who's EXTRAordinary? Acclaimed artist Barroux makes his Blue Apple Books debut with a book about an amazing array of animals. Cats are cuddly, but elephants? Exceptional! A Chihuahua is cute, but tarantulas? Terrific! Flaps cleverly transform everyday animals into exotic, one-of-a-kind, perfect pets. A dog, a cat, a bird, a fish great pets to have. But if you had your wish why not choose one out of the ordinary?

Barroux studied photography, art, sculpture, and architecture in France at the famous Ecole Estienne and Ecole Boule. He went on to work as an art director in Paris and Montreal. While in Canada, Barroux began illustrating by creating linocut images, and he is now well known for his children's book illustrations.
