Barb is not your typical pet. She's hard to take on walks, not so good at playing fetch, and not exactly what you'd call 'cuddly'. Still, Beatrice loves taking care of her. But when Barb's beautiful pink color fades and she starts to droop, Beatrice wonders if she has what it takes to save her new friend. In this heartfelt story of friendship, a young girl is determined to save her most unlikely pet ... a Venus flytrap. Vivian Mineker's illustrations are imbued with the soft greens of plant life and beautifully convey the warmth and affection at the heart of the story.
