Liz learns a lesson that few adults have managed: what really is important in life and who are your friends. The animal information is up to date and mostly true (the indication that the Fred the ferret is a wild animal is one of the rare goofs), the story moves along quickly, and the characters and circumstances are believable (hey, I live with over 10 ferrets so I know what it's like, and Wallace hit the nail on the head). A great read.

There is no way to express my feelings about this book. It really changed my attitude about reading. I liked reading a lot; however it made me like reading even more.
I can really understand why this book is an award winning book. My favorite characters are Sally and Liz. I like how they are always covering for each other or right by each others side. There is nothing I would change about this book and I give all my thanks to the author, Thank You Bill.

This book was about a girl and her pets and she was trying to win to become class president. So she had to decide if she wanted to give up her friends or give up her pets. So she gave up her pets and then she was upset because she was lonely with out them. And this story takes place at her school and home. The main characters were Liz but everyone called her lizard Miss Wimberl, Sally, Mrs Jones Mr.Mcdonald, Shane, Lizs Mother, Farther, Jo Donna Hunt and lizs animals Fred and Bessie. I would recommend this book for kids my age and older because it was a terrfic book to read.

I liked this book because it is full of adventure and really funny. The main character,Liz, has a house full of animals. When her friends come over, to help Liz win class president,many bad,yet funny,things start happening. Will Liz win the election? This is a very good book! You will never want to put it down.

In the story Ferret in the bedroom , Lizards in the fridge was Elizabeth was running for class president. Her dad is a zoologist and he keeps stray animals, which effects her election for class, president.

Elizabeth is the main character of this story. She is a white girl with freckles. Elizabeth is nice, loves animals, and is very competitive.

The problem for elizabeth is that her dad is a zoologist. The reason why this ia a problem for her, is she is trying to run her campaign from her home. When her guest are over the animals always get out.

Elizabeth solves the problem by asking her dad to keep the animals locked up while her friends are over. So that is how she solves the problem.

My opinion of this is that his is a very good book. It teaches us that we must communicate with each other. I would also recommend this book to other people because it talks about how some people don't care about animals.

This is a great book. It has lots of friendship and sadness. Liz's house is full of animals. She has a hawk named Bessie.She has 2 turtles named Josh and Mr.T. She has a ibex named Ivan. She has lizards and she has her very own pet ferret named Fred. Soon she gets tired of all the animals. So she yells at her dad. Her dad soon takes the animals to the animal place where he works. To find out what happens next,you need to read Ferret in the Bedroom,Lizards in the Fridge. I recommend this book to people who like animals.

The setting of the story happens in both, the school and the home of Elizabeth Robbins who is the main character.
Elizabeth's house is like a zoo and her friends are afraid to go in it.
At school, everyone calls her Liz-art because she likes animals.
There are also other characters in the story: Shane Garrison. He likes animals too. Sally, who doesn't like Jo Donna, and Jo Donna Hunt, who doesn't like Elisabeth and she acts cool because she thinks she is popular.

The story begins when Liz invites people to make posters in her house for the election and many bad things happened. For example Mr.T (a turtle) went pipi on a girl. Or when the bull attacked Sally.

The problem continues when Liz tells her father, who is a zoologist, that he must get rid of all the animals he keeps at home or she'll never win the sixth-grade class presidency.
Sally and Liz try hard to win the election, but none found success.

The resolution to the story happens when Elisabeth steps on stage and says she wanted all the animasl back because she realized those animals where her friends, and that she told her dad she wanted to get rid of them to have friends and to win class presidency.

The ending comes one day when Shane Garrison knocks on Liz's front door.
Shane said that he liked her speech and that he also liked animals and that they were his friends too. They went for a walk and then saw Jo Donna,Shane turned around and held Liz's hand.
From that moment on they became good friends.

I recommend this book because it's a fun book to read and it keeps you interested and curious about what is going to happen next.
And it teaches you a lesson: not to get rid of your real friend just to be popular.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS! Liz (Lizard) has a house full of animals because her dad is a zoologist. When she tries out for class president, no one will help her because they can't go to her house to help her out. Liz makes her dad get rid of the animals and Liz then relizes what it was to have her animal friends gone, even Fred the ferret.

I was very happy to see that I had the original artwork (where the main character, Liz, is stading with her arms folded amidst a group of freaked out girls holding lizard-cicles) from years ago. This book is more for young adults (11 years and up) because of some of the language used (no cursing). I loved this book as a pre-teen and I still love it as an adult!

Look for the part where Fred the ferret gets even with Liz...that is the best!!

I HAVE READ THIS BOOK TWICE CAUSE I WAS AFRAID I MAY HAVE MISSED SOMETHING
