Children Make Terrible Pets

(3) K-3 Bear cub Lucy finds a human boy in the bushes. She makes the boy--called Squeaker--her pet, and all goes well...until it doesn't (he trashes the house, won't use his litter box, etc.). While this is a comedy and nearly every deadpan, mixed-media illustration will elicit grins, readers will surely be moved when Squeaker leaves the cub for a more suitable home.
