PreS-Gr 1–Lucy, a little daughter brown bear inside a pink skirt and hair bow, meets one with the most adorable little boy inside forest one day. She takes him home, excitedly shows him to her mother, and begs, "Can I keep him, PLEASE?" Though her mother warns her that "children make terrible pets," Lucy is bound and going to prove her wrong. Agreeing to take full responsibility on her new companion, Lucy and Squeaker eat, play, and nap together. However, the cub soon finds that there is some truth to her mother's admonitions. The child is tough for the furniture, creates chaos everywhere, and absolutely refuses to be potty trained. When Squeaker goes missing, Lucy tracks him down and discovers that involved will likely be more satisfied if the lad remains where she finds him. It's a hard truth, but Lucy has to admit that her mother was right. The amusing, soft-hued illustrations on tan backgrounds are worked in pencil on cut construction paper as well as a little "digital tweaking." Each spread is put on frames made of a selection of woods. The dialogue is shown in speech bubbles, hand lettered by the author/illustrator, while the narration is put in rectangular boxes. Appealing and humorous, which has a lesson to boot!–Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WIα© Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Lucy, a tutu- and ribbon-adorned young bear, is instantly besotted with a human boy she finds in the forest. After naming him Squeaker (the only sound he makes) and bringing him home, she begs her mother to hold him, and Mom relents around the condition that Lucy take full responsibility for his care. The two possess a ball playing together until Lucy confronts some from the less-appealing facets of pet ownership, including potty training and working with destroyed furniture. When Squeaker suddenly disappears, Lucy follows his trail, discovers that he has returned to his natural habitat of house and human family, and comes to understand, as countless children have, that not every critters are remove for domestication. (A final spread demonstrates Lucy hasn’t quit for my child enthusiasm by any stretch, though.) Brown’s distinctive multimedia art, featuring text in colored blocks and characters’ asides printed in word balloons, has a playful, old-time style that matches the woodsy setting along with the enjoyable story's upbeat tone.
