Children Make Terrible Pets by Peter Brown

5.0

Have you ever thought, "what if we were pets?" In this book, Lucy the Bear finds a new pet, a little boy! In this story, Lucy the Bear speaks aloud and when the little boy speaks, he only "squeaks"! When Lucy brings the little boy home, Lucy's mom tells her that "children make terrible pets" and that he is her responsibility! At first they have lots of fun, but then when the little boy starts to act, well, like a little boy, Lucy realizes having a child for a pet is a bit more work! A fun, reversal of a story!
