Reviews

|
| “This book is a true commentary on a loving parent-child relationship...the boy's creative spirit will win the applause of the many children who have unsuccessfully begged for a pet.”
“Jonell understands the passions of boyhood...and her observations harbor a dry wit that parents will recognize.” “The simple, immediate text and the childlike crayon illustrations express the push and pull in a loving family and the child's natural attraction for what makes grownups shudder.” |
