A familiar domestic interchange, played out with broad comedy--and mutual respect, too." - Kirkus Reviews "This funny story is told through an amusing exchange of notes, as Alex tries to convince his seemingly unshakable mother that he should be allowed to adopt a friend's baby iguana ("If I don't take it, he goes to Stinky and Stinky's dog, Lurch, will eat it. You don't want that to happen, do you?"). . . The tale is perfect for reader's-theater presentations and could also be used effectively as a writing prompt for older children. It will make even the most serious youngsters giggle." - School Library Journal

Synopsis
Alex just has to convince his mom to let him have an iguana, so he puts his arguments in writing. He promises that she won't have to feed it or clean its cage or even see it if she doesn't want to. Of course Mom imagines life with a six-foot-long iguana eating them out of house and home. Alex's reassurances: It takes fifteen years for an iguana to get that big. I'll be married by then and probably living in my own house. and his mom's replies: How are you going to get a girl to marry you when you own a giant reptile? will have kids in hysterics as the negotiations go back and forth through notes. And the lively, imaginative illustrations show their polar opposite dreams of life with an iguana., Hilarious notes between a son and his mom show how kid logic can be very persuasive.

  • Does your child want you to buy them a critter??

    Great book! Dialog in book is in the form of letters written from Alex to his Mom and from Mom to Alex. Alex gives convincing arguments on why he should be allowed to get a baby iguana from his friend. Mom responds to each letter with why not. I read it at our school's Scholastic Reading Family Fun night to our son. And although there we other parents and children reading I found myself laughing out loud at parts. We have a 4 yr old son that has been asking for a lizard so this was right up our alley. Illustrations are brightly colored, funny and detailed- although they could have tamed Alex's wild red hair. A+ book. So good I went on eBay to find us a copy the next day.

  • Catchy Title

    It had a cute message and the illustrations were comical and fun to see. My grandchildren really liked the book!
