Our class thinks the best pet is a CAT because it is fluffy and small. A dog is the best pet because it is cuddly and fluffy. The best pet is a parrot because it is colourful, it can talk and then because it can fly. A Panda is a beautiful animal but not for a home and is very happy.

I wish i could have a pet panda and i would call her Spectria and we would play all day
