Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Peter Brown's laugh-out-loud story about a bear and her 'pet' boy
Product Description
In this fresh and funny picture book, Lucy, a young bear, discovers a lost boy in the woods and she thinks she's found the most adorable, cutest pet ever. She brings him home, and begs her mom to keep him, even though her mom tells her that 'children make terrible pets.' She names him Squeaker and the two go through a humorous sequence of events: playing, napping, litterbox training (okay, maybe that's not fun!) and all other sorts of shenanigans. But then Squeaker suddenly goes missing. Lucy is heartbroken and looks for him everywhere. Finally, she finds him back with his own family and she makes the tough decision to let him stay where he belongs.
Bestselling author Peter Brown is back with a side-splitting and endlessly adorable story, illustrated in a striking and fun art style.

Some creatures don't make great pets...
11 Sep 2010
Format:Hardcover
Simple, funny, sweet...a story about a young bear who finds a boy in the woods and keeps him as a pet. Of course, she finds out that children can be a lot of fun but don't really make good pets. They tear up the furniture, throw food,track mud everywhere, and are tough to potty train (especially using a litter box). I read this story to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders and they loved it. A great read aloud. They're all hoping for a follow up book to find out if elephants make better pets than children.

A fun, silly read!
30 Jan 2012
Format:Hardcover
The book was about a bear named Lucy who found a kid and wanted to keep him as a pet. She called him "Squeaker." The mother bear said that kids are bad pets, but she let Lucy keep him as long as Lucy was the one who took care of him.
I think kids will enjoy it because it is fun to read and silly that a kid would be a bear's pet.
My favorite part was when Lucy couldn't find Squeaker and she looked for him throughout the forest until she found him.
Both boys and girls, ages 2 to 7 would like this book because it is a funny book and the pictures of Squeaker's antics would make them laugh.
