Marcos though doesn't have a pet, but one day he finds a coin and he makes a wish. Will his wish for a pet come true? Read to the end of the story to find out! On each of the pages where Marcos asks his friend if they have a pet, the pet can be seen hiding behind a bush. Parents/teachers could ask their little ones what the animal is called in Spanish before turning over the page to see the animal in full and the name in Spanish. For each pet, there is a page giving details of the type of pet, the pet's name, the size of the pet and the colour of the pet - If you like singing, sing each of these 4 lines twice to the tune of Frère Jacques.
