Synopsis
This volume in the Kids of Canada series follows a young city girl's exploration of the countryside, showing what she finds there.
Anna searches for a pet on her grandparent's farm: will it be a toad? A Worm? A Snake? Each choice she makes teaches her about these creatures and the world they inhabit and, ultimately, about herself.
In a charming and playful manner, Atwood and Barkhouse evoke the relationship between a child and the natural world.

Review
"Full page watercolour illustrations appear on every second page of this easy reader...will remind readers of the scenery in ." (Tanya Boudreau Resource Links 2011-10-01)
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.
