She takes him up to the dark hills where the monster finds his home, then Minneapolis and her mother go to the pet store to get kittens.

A good book for beginning second grade readers to read independently and great for children who love Peggy Parrish and her Amelia Bedelia books. ( )

This is a tale of a little girl that wanted a pet, but her mom wouldn't allow it, so she found a monster an took it in as a pet, but realized that this was not a good idea, but soon her mom changed her mom and after she got rid of the monster, her mom allowed her a pet.

I would utilize this book when teaching children about responsibilities and honesty.

I would have the children compare real pets to monsters as pets making sure the odds weighed out so that the children would see the differences.

What would you do if you had a monster for a pet? The little girl in this story has one and it wont stop growing , see how she deals with that and her Mother not finding out! ( )
