Product Description
by Danny Christopher (Author)
Jonathan's parents have decided to let Jonathan choose a pet. They are not prepared for his choice--a giant eagle. (Is that even legal?)
Jonathan recounts his new experiences with this unique and astonishing pet. A mythical giant eagle doesn't fit easily into everyday life, but there are some advantages to having such a creature by your side. Ultimately, Jonathan comes to the difficult decision that his new friend must be set free.
With rhyming text and a humorous and lighthearted tone, this book is meant to be read aloud.
