"Mom, an animal followed me home. Can I keep it?" asks Boo in this beginning chapter book. Since the animal is a dinosaur that no one but Boo can see, Boo's parents and her brother, Sammy, agree. Brooks's whimsical black-and-white drawings, including wordless double-page spreads between the chapters, companionably illustrate this story of imaginary--or are they?--friends.
