If you’re looking for a regular pet that will, say, chase a ball, fetch a stick or catch a frisbee, a rhino is probably not your best bet.

But, as the little boy in this book discovers, having a pet rhino can be pretty darn awesome — well, at least it is in this funny and imaginative twist on the usual pet-themed story.

The concise text and likeable cartoon-style illustrations will go down well with toddlers, as will the outrageous but entertaining story.
