About this audiobook

Narrated by David McCormack, the voice of Bandit Heeler (Bluey's dad) in the hit show BLUEY!

Embark on an endearing journey of friendship, responsibility, and the unexpected joy of companionship in Penny Pangolin Wants A Pet. This charming tale, perfect for fans of Curious George and Berenstain Bears, introduces young listeners to the adorable Penny Pangolin, who longs for a pet to call her own.

The story opens on Penny's birthday, where instead of the pet she's been dreaming of, she receives...a plant. Although it isn't the pet she asked for, Penny's big heart leads her to cherish her new green friend. Yet, despite her devotion, the quiet plant can't quite fill the companionship gap that a pet would. As Penny contemplates the perfect pet, she encounters a distressed red panda cub, leading to an adventure that teaches her about empathy, wildlife, and the joyous unpredictability of friendship.

This story highlights the significance of caring for others, whether they're plants, pets, or each other. It emphasizes the responsibility involved in pet ownership, making it an excellent conversation starter for families considering adding a pet to their home. This delightful narrative subtly educates listeners about endangered animals, like pangolins and red pandas. The book encourages respect and empathy for wildlife, often misunderstood or misrepresented.
