The Snagglegrollop
by Daniel Postgate,
illustrations by Nick Price

His mom and dad say no to all the typical pets – no dog, no cat, no goldfish – so Sam wonders, “How about a snagglegrollop?”

“What’s that?” asks his mom.

“I just made it up,” Sam answers.

The family soon becomes very fond of the strange creature. But why is it so sad? Could it be that all a snagglegrollop needs is the friendship of a quibblesnuff?
