Book Review: Children Make Terrible Pets

Picture book with sentences. Reading level: Some second graders can read this book alone.
"Children Make Terrible Pets," by Peter Brown. The title got me to pick it up, the story kept me reading. This is a terrific book! I highly recommend it. "Children Make Terrible Pets," is funny and silly and makes you think. Simple plot: Lucy the bear finds a boy in the forest and takes it home as a pet. Lucy's mother tells her children make terrible pets. Tis true. The boy she has taken home is wild and ill mannered. It’s all in good fun.
