Summary

Mika's father works from home and he's very busy! He can never find time for the promised swimming trip. So Dad allows Mika to choose herself a pet from the store while he finishes the project, something quiet like a mouse. And so begins a wonderfully turbulent story in which Mika brings home one animal after another. The mouse gets lost so she gets a dog to find it. The dog is followed by a seal, the seal a penguin. How many animals can come to stay before a harassed father notices? This is a high-spirited story about an enterprising only child and a father's juggle to work from home
