This review is from: Harvey Moon, Museum Boy (Hardcover)

This cute follow-up to Clean Your Room, Harvey Moon. Told in rhyme and with the signature, bright artwork of the talented Pat Cummings, the story details a day out with Harvey at the museum. He decides to bring his pet lizard along and you can only guess at the trouble that ensues. Funny, well-written....we liked it.
