The story invites the reader to imagine: Which animal would make the best pet? It encourages students to think about what makes a good pet (behavior, sounds, personality) and to consider carefully when choosing a pet.

At the end, there is a suggestion that Derek might choose an animal to bring home (though the book leaves it open for imagination).
