Cute story of a lonely boy's need for a pet. His mother is weird though. ( )

I kept laughing over this short story about a young boy who keeps begging his mother for a pet. The illustrations are classic Kellogg, with lots going on in the background and margins. This one is heading straight to my granddaughter! ( )

Cute book that models giving reasons for your opinion. Also nice use of audience.

Poor Arnold. I'm glad there's a solution to his loneliness next door. But I tell you what, when mine were little & expressed boredom or loneliness, first we did chores *together* and then we played or read *together.* ( )

Cute. My son loves Kellogg's illustrations & cute stories. ( )
