REVIEW: Lucy, a
young bear, finds a boy in the woods and begs her mother “Can I keep him??” Her
mother warns that children make terrible pets, but allows Lucy to keep him as
long as she accepts all responsibility for him. Join Lucy on her day of fun
with her new pet Squeaker, and decide for yourself what kind of pets children
make.
OPINION: The
illustrations are absolutely adorable, and what initially drew me to this book.
They appear to be a combination of paper piecing and hand drawn, but overall
completely adorable and captivating and perfectly accompany this quirky take on
the “first pet” scenario.
IDEAS: This would be a great book to include in a display of picture books that appeal to a wide age range.
