Check out this bestselling, rollicking, and humorous twist on the classic "first pet" story about a young bear and her favorite pet boy! When Lucy, a young bear, discovers a boy in the woods, she's absolutely delighted. She brings him home and begs her mom to let her keep him, even though her mom warns, "Children make terrible pets." But mom relents, and Lucy gets to name her new pet Squeaker. Through a series of hilarious and surprising scenes, readers can join Lucy and Squeaker on their day of fun and decide for themselves whether or not children really do make terrible pets.

Stumbled across this one by chance while at my work, and it‘s TOO adorable!!

Lucy the Bear comes across Squeaker the Human, and so wants to keep him as her pet! Her mom says as long as she is responsible for him and takes care of him.

A great twist for a story, and the students I read it to loved it as much as me!

LibrarianRyan It‘s a sequel. The first book is you will be my friend. It‘s lovely! 5y
