Lucy the bear is walking through the woods and comes across a little boy. She takes him home for a pet. Mama bear isn't convinced this is a good idea, but lets Lucy keep him on the condition that she takes good care of her pet. Lucy and her pet have fun together, but he is not house broken and causes problems. One day, the boy is gone. Lucy searches everywhere. She finally tracks him down back at his own home. Lucy realizes little boys should stay in their own homes instead of becoming pets. The illustrations are done in pencil along with construction paper and wood. At first I found the illustrative style to be a little flat, but it quickly grew on me especially since the facial expressions are very well done and the scenes were at times hilarious. This story was cute and funny. This is the story of what would happen if the pet situation were reversed and the little boy was taken home as a pet instead of the little boy bringing home an animal from the wild. Lucy is fantastic with her dramatic and overly enthusiastic personality. This is a fun story I think all children will enjoy. Advertized for ages 3-6 which is perfect.
