| Publisher Description: Finley wants--no, needs--a pet. But before Mom and Dad will even consider it, she'll have to prove that she's ready for some responsibility. When her next-door neighbor needs a last-minute pet sitter, it seems like the purr-fect opportunity. But Finley soon learns that taking care of a pet isn't all cuteness and cuddles--especially a cat like Goo-Goo. When Goo-Goo proves to be more than she can handle on her own, Finley enlists her brother and sister to help. While they don't always agree, together they come up with some creative ways to get the job done. |
Contributor Bio(s): Secheret, Jessica: - Jessica was born on a spring day in 1978 in a small French town. When she was very young she had strange buddies that were always with her: felt pens, colored pencils, brushes and paint. After several years spent in various agencies of architecture, she decided to give up squares, rulers, and compasses and put her body, heart, and soul into what she always loved--putting her own imagination on paper. She's currently residing at her studio in Paris, drawing for magazines and children's books in France and abroad.Young, Jessica: - Jessica Young's award-winning picture book My Blue is Happy (2013) was included on the 2014 Bank Street College of Education's Best Books of the Year for Children and Young Adults list and the Texas Library Association's 2014 "2 x 2 Reading List," and was chosen to represent Tennessee on the Library of Congress/Center for the Book's 2013 "52 Great Reads" list.
