A pet lizard tells how his owner, an eight-year-old boy, copes with a move from the city to the suburbs. The lizard's narrative voice is both funny and sympathetic as he chronicles his own close encounters with danger and with his owner's struggles to learn how to ride a bike. The chapter book's black-and-white illustrations portray the world from both the lizard's and the boy's perspectives.
