Jmenuju se Wendy Quillová a toto je příběh o tom, jak jsem si chtěla vypěstovat zvířátko. Až budu velká, chci být veterinářkou, ale máma nemá ráda tvorečky, kteří kakají po domě, a to znamená, že rodiče mi nikdy nedovolí mít doma další zvířátko. Ani jedno. Droboučké. Malé zvířátko. Je pravda, že mám Bathildu, krásného, neviditelného slintajícího psa. Jestli se ale ze mě má stát OPRAVDOVÁ PROFESIONÁLNÍ VETERINÁŘKA, potřebuju zvířata, která skutečně uvidím.
Je moc těžké dělat POŘÁD všechno správně. Občas se mi něco trošku nepovede. Jako když jsem na rozjetém kole prosvištěla za roh a trošku porazila jednu paní, nebo když mi duch v sestřině pokoji náhodou upustil její absolutně tajný deník rovnou do dlaní! Jmenuju se WENDY QUILLOVÁ a tohle je vyprávění o mých tak trochu hrozných nehodách.* *Ale nebojte se, nakonec všechno dobře dopadne!
Wendy Quillová je hlavná postava série, ktorá sa zaoberá každodennými výzvami a dobrodružstvami detí. V prvej knihe sa Wendy snaží vyrovnať so svojimi chybami, pričom sa učí, že omyly sú neoddeliteľnou súčasťou rastu a učenia. Druhá kniha sa zameriava na Wendyinu jedinečnú osobnosť, kde je opísaná ako "krododílí zadok", čo naznačuje jej hravý a niekedy neobvyklý prístup k životu. Tretia kniha sa sústreďuje na Wendyinu túžbu po zvieratku, čo odráža detské sny a túžby, ako aj výzvy spojené s zodpovednosťou za domáce zvieratá. Celkovo sa série zaoberá témami priateľstva, sebaakceptácie a dôležitosti učiť sa z chýb. Wendy je zobrazená ako zvedavé a energické dievča, ktoré sa snaží nájsť svoje miesto vo svete, pričom sa stretáva s rôznymi postavami, ktoré jej pomáhajú na tejto ceste. Knihy sú písané zrozumiteľným jazykom a sú určené pre mladších čitateľov, ktorí sa môžu stotožniť s Wendyinými skúsenosťami a pocitmi.
Wendy will ein Haustier ... und hat auch schon einen Plan. Schließlich will sie später Tierärztin werden, und da braucht man unbedingt ein Tier, an dem man schon mal üben kann. Weil Mama und Papa strikt dagegen sind, beschließt Wendy, einen unsichtbaren Hund zu haben. Der ist immerhin besser als die Kopfläuse von Noah Unwerth. Doch richtig stolz ist Wendy, als es ihr gelingt, einen total echten Frosch zu züchten.
Príbehy Wendy, ktorej nie vždy vyjdú veci tak, ako si naplánuje. Vie sa však pohotovo vynájsť a zabaviť! Okrem iného si zahrá v školskom predstavení krokodílí zadok (spolužiačka, ktorá hrala predok, mala nové okuliare, ktoré sa jej však nevmestili pod masku, a tak „krokodíl“ nevidel, kam na javisku ide), alebo zachraňuje školského potkana, ktorý vlezie pani učiteľke do kabelky, a tým aj zamdlievajúcu pani učiteľku... Veselých príhod však zažije oveľa viac.
Volám sa Wendy Quillová a toto je príbeh o tom, ako som si chcela "vypestovať" zvieratko.
