When Miles and his classmates welcome a few frogs as class pets, it's a reminder that what he really wants more than anything is a dog to call his own. But his parents don't think he's ready, and his attempts to show them that he truly can care for critters all end in disaster.
Can Miles pull it together and prove that he's responsible enough for a pet once and for all?

From the award-winning author of the Jada Jones chapter books comes an illustrated spinoff series perfect for STEM fans!
This series features Jada Jone's friend, Miles Lewis, a confident fourth grader who lives with his parents and grandmother. Like Jada, Miles enjoys science—and being the best at everything he tries! The books focus on everyday, age-relevant experiences relating to family, friendships, and school, while including a little Black history, courtesy of Miles's father, who is a Black history professor.
Single-color cartoon-style illustrations aid the narration while transitioning the reader to text-only chapter books. Ideal for growing independent readers.
