Kipper & Roly, by Mick Inkpen

<p>Kipper wants to choose a pet for Pig’s birthday present. The rabbit is too sleepy, the guinea pigs are too timid, the mouse is too shy, and the stick insect is boring. But the hamster? The hamster is <em>perfect. </em>He can even do roly-polies!<br> “I wish I didn’t have to give you to Pig,” Kipper tells little Roly. When it’s time for Pig’s party, will Kipper be able to give Roly up?</p>
