Children Make Terrible Pets
Author and Illustrator: Peter Brown

Kids Wings Award Book
2012 Andrew Carnegie Medal

Lucy Bear danced in the forest.
She could whirl.
She could twirl.
No wonder she didn't see the peeper until he squeaked.
Squeak!
He looked like the perfect pet for Lucy!
Would Lucy listen to Mother Bear's warnings?
"Lucy, children make terrible pets!"
Would her mother bear still allow Lucy to keep Squeaker?
Would everything be fun and games?
Could he be potty trained?
What would he do to the furniture?
How would he act during a party?

How would Squeaker like being a pet?
