Each candidate animal—elephant, Nile crocodile, porcupines, skunk, rhino, and lion—is rejected through humorous what-if dilemmas, from illnesses and mess to appetite, danger, and social consequences. The story ends with the pressure from her parents to pick a cuddlier companion, while Maddy grapples with rejection and affection.","Maddy Moona’s Menagerie Rachel Zadok  \nCandace di Talamo  \nMaddy Moona’s Menagerie! Written by Rachel Zadok Illustrated by Candace di Talamo  \nMy name is Maddy Moona, and today I’m turning five. Dad promised I could choose a pet, a real one! Something live! We’ll travel across the whole wide world, searching Mali through Tibet, until we find the perfect one… Oh, I know just what I’ll get!  \nI’m going to get an elephant. I’ll ride on it to school. My brother Billy can walk behind, he’ll think I’m awfully cool. But…what if Ellie caught a cold? I guess she’d sneeze…. A LOT! There is no tissue big enough to wipe up all that snot.  \nI want a Nile crocodile sent to me by the pharaohs. I’ll call him Tut and feed him soup, fish fingers, and baby marrows . I’ll keep him in the bathtub and brush his pearly whites. But…what if flossing all those teeth takes me all day and night?  \nPerhaps a pair of porcupines, for games of robbers and cops. Their prickly quills will be handy for holding up sweetie shops. I can munch away on candy bars while my gang sharpen their spines. But…what if my sharpshooting pals put me in the firing line?  \nMaybe I need a stealthier plan. Let’s clear out the store with funk! There isn’t a smellier critter on earth. That’s what I want—a skunk! But…what if I can’t go into the shop after Skunky has let off his stink? Sweets are no good for my teeth anyway. A rotten idea! I need to rethink!  \nA rhino! The horns, the big stomping feet, the armour on both of its flanks! Billy would never chase me again. It would be my own personal tank. But…what if Billy raises his temper and Rhino goes on the rampage? Crash bang boom! The teacups! The plates! Now I’m grounded ‘til I’m gran’s age.  \nI need a beast to tame my brother. With teeth, sharp claws and a roar . A LION! I could feed it Billy biltong…Yes! A lion would settle the score . But… a lion has a huge appetite. Skinny Billy won’t satisfy. And once Brutus has a taste for us Moonas, he’ll see me as Maddy stir-fry.  \nDad thinks I should choose a cuddlier pet. My parents are so hard to please. They want me to have a pet I can hug. A python? A python has squeeze . But… if Snakey develops too much of a crush, he’ll suffocate me with affection. To be honest, I just can’t marry a snake! And reptiles can’t handle rejection.","cbCaiioGDLxbbcVe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiioGDLxbbcVe","pdf",2992341,3,16,"English","en",105,"# Maddy Moona’s Pet Plans\n## Choosing an Elephant\n## Dreaming of Nile Crocodiles\n## Porcupines for Games\n## The Skunk Dilemma\n## Rhino as a “Tank”\n## Lion Revenge and Appetite\n## Parents Want a Cuddly Pet\n## The Problem with Snakes","[{\"question\":\"What pet does Maddy say she wants first, and why does it cause problems?\",\"answer\":\"Maddy first wants an elephant so she can ride it to school.
