This book is silly because it flips the roles of pet ownership. Students could think of their own animals that would make terrible pets.
This book is about a bear who finds a child in the woods and wants to keep it as a pet. The bear‘s mom wants the bear that children make terrible pets but the bear finds out for herself.

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!
