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
