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
