This is a very cute book about a bear, Lucy, who wants to keep a child as a pet.  Mother bear tells Lucy that children make terrible pets.  But Lucy is allowed to keep the pet, Squeaker.  Lucy and Squeaker are inseparable.   But Squeaker does not train well and ruined the furniture.   Then one day Squeaker disappears and Lucy is very sad.

This book has a fun ending that is not expected and the children love.  Great pictures and a fun idea to be a pet to a wild animal.
