Will Milo Find the Perfect Pet?
Milo has trees to climb, rivers to splash in, and endless adventures—but what he really wants is a pet.
When his mom tells him he can have one if he finds it in the woods himself, Milo accepts the challenge. From a prickly hedgehog to a very stinky skunk, every animal seems promising until something hilariously goes wrong.
