Children Make Terrible Pets by Peter Brown

Lucy, a young brown bear in a pink skirt, meets a little boy in the forest one day. She takes him home, excitedly shows him to her mother, and begs, "Can I keep him, PLEASE?" But her mother warns her that children make terrible pets. And soon, Lucy finds out that her mother is right! This will be a great read aloud for school or at home! Children will laugh out loud at Lucy and her new pet Squeaker!


Through a series of hilarious and surprising scenes, readers can join Lucy and Squeaker on their day of fun and decide for themselves whether or not children really do make terrible pets.

Here is my photo of the author, Peter Brown. I met him a few summers ago at the American Library Association conference in Washington, DC.
