This is a fun kind of mystery for very young readers, in which Yotam identifies and discovers the nature of his ideal pet. One day Yotam decides he wants a pet. He doesn't know exactly what type, but he does know he wants something special- a pet that none of his friends have.

"I want a pet that is round," he tells his mother.
His mother suggests a lady bug, but Yotam says that a lady bug is too small, and he wants a big pet.
"Maybe you would like an elephant?" his mother offers, but Yotam explain to his mother that elephant is too large.
"The pet I choose has to be quiet," adds Yotam.
"Would you like a turtle?" Yotam's mother asks?
But Yotam has always dreamed of a soft pet so a turtle is out of the question.
"Perhaps a hedgehog, with its furry tummy?"
Mother tries, but Yotam wants a pet that is all fur, not part spikes.

As a joke, his Mother suggests a spider, but Yotam rejects that idea, adding, "My pet has to be warm." After his mother suggests a mouse. Yotam is almost ready to give up. And then one day he finds his perfect pet, and this happens in the most unexpected way 25 Pages-Published by Yediot Aharonot Books and Chemed Books 2001.
