Charming from start to finish…
In Sheinmel’s delightful chapter book, a young girl makes her own pet and learns how messy and hard it is to take care of a pet. Piper Maclane who is allergic to pets wishes to have a pet so badly, she makes her own from slime. An accident happens, and her adorable pet Cosmo comes to life. Taking Cosmo to school for show and tell is definitely fun until it goes missing from Piper’s backpack. The illustrations that accompany the text are pleasing to look at with their bright, appealing colors and characters leap right off the page. The back of the book includes a recipe for slime, encouraging readers to try to create their own pets from slime. There are also some interesting facts on the back about a particular slime that can forage for food. With a cliffhanger at the end, readers will be left excited about the next book in the series.
