Pia is an instantly likeable protagonist with an infectious energy and a great sense of humour. The funny asides, characterful illustrations and pet facts make this a joy to read, and children will whizz through it and look forward to the next in the series. Superb! * BookTrust *
I love this book! Funny and adorable - Serena has created another gem with Pia. * Abiola Bello, author of Wild Magic *
I absolutely loved meeting Pia, her family and her friends both human and animal. I wouldn't want to stop reading even if someone shouted 'bananas!' When I was young I wanted to be a vet and I just wish I'd had this wonderful book to read back then. * Chris Smith, co-author of the KID NORMAL series *
Filled with Emma McCann's entertaining illustrations, plenty of laughs and 'oh no!' moments, Pia is such an endearing main character and inspiration for readers. * Check 'Em Out blog *
