Pet Show! is a 1972 children's picture book by American author and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats.


Plot

Archie wants to enter his cat in the neighborhood pet show—but where is the cat? Archie keeps on looking even after all the other kids have given up, but his pet is nowhere to be found. Ingenious Archie has a plan to enter the contest—with a most surprising creature and enters an empty jar which he says contains a germ named Al.

Reception

Publishers Weekly stated that Pet Show! '...captures a smalltown simplicity amidst an urban landscape...'[1] while Kirkus spoke of the author's '... brightly patterned collage, exuberant thick-smudged paint, and general good will...'.[2]
