title: Emma's Strange Pet (I Can Read Book 3)
author:  Jean Little 
description: Kindergarten-Grade 2-Despite her allergies, Emma wants a pet as a birthday gift. Her parents agree to her request-as long as she selects an animal without fur. Emma chooses a lizard, and she and her brother Max delight in its eating habits and changing color. When Emma realizes that Max is unhappy because he doesn't have his own pet, she convinces her father to get him a lizard. Little portrays real characters who bring everyday problems to satisfying conclusions. Simple, full-color line-and-watercolor illustrations do a great job of capturing expressions of confusion, worry, anger, and joy. An exceptional beginning reader.<br /><i>Anne Knickerbocker, formerly at Cedar Brook Elementary School, Houston, TX</i><br />Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
