We're Getting a Pet! is a lively and reassuring children’s story that captures the excitement—and uncertainty—of welcoming a new pet into the family.
 
Written by Sue Fliess and illustrated in Jana Christy’s warm, expressive style, the story follows a child imagining all the possibilities of pet ownership, from dogs and cats to more unusual animal companions. Through playful repetition and gentle humour, the book explores anticipation, responsibility, and the joy of caring for animals.
 
Designed for early readers, this title fits seamlessly within the long-standing Little Golden Books tradition of accessible storytelling paired with engaging illustrations.
