Reader reviews
Usually, children's books are only entertaining for the children and not so entertaining for the older person reading them, but this book is the complete opposite. I found myself laughing at the grumpy (and honestly quite relatable) stuff Gus says multiple times! This book is a super easy and fun read. The illustrations really make the story come to life. I would definitely recommend!

This is a good book with unexpected twists and really makes me want to read the next book! It has a good plot and grabbed me in with good cliffhangers and a strong start. And books about animals turn out to be more popular than you think.

I really liked this book. It was fun to find out that Gus could talk!! My favourite line was “I can do ribbons, but NO sequins”. I am excited to read more adventures from the Pet Sitters books."

I thought it was a great story. I think the writers wrote a fantastic book and I liked when Gus said he wasn't a unicorn. I like unicorns. Mummy read the book to me, and she did a funny voice for Gus.

This is a great, fun, fresh chapter book for early readers, sure to appeal to kids who love friends, animals and magic (which would be a LOT of kids). With short chapters and a sprinkling of illustrations, it will easily engage a young reader. I recognised myself as a child in the longing for a pet, and a magical pet is, well... magical. I look forward to more from Ella Shine. PS I love the clever cover artwork!

I liked it because it is funny and exciting. I like that it is a fresh book and new.
