The story of a bear and her boy…

Has your child ever brought home a frog wanting to keep it as a pet – forcing you to explain why certain creatures are better left in the wild?  If so, this would be a wonderful book to add to your collection.

Children Make Terrible Pets humorously explores this idea when Lucy the Bear brings home Squeaker, a human boy.  At first, Lucy and Squeaker are inseparable.  But Lucy soon learns that having a pet isn’t all fun and games – and that maybe, Squeaker belongs with his own kind.

This is a fun and silly read-aloud that beautifully but simply illustrates that every living thing has a home where it’s most comfortable – even those wild human boys!
