As Derek walks through the shelter, he sees many animals — pets of different kinds (cats, dogs, birds, maybe other small animals) — and hears the sounds they make.

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.
