5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for a friend? Try these ideas..., September 6, 2000
I've been a Steven Kellogg fan for nearly 20 years now. His work is original, engaging, and entertaining. He does his own illustrations which "make" his stories come to life for me.

In this book by Kellogg a lonely little boy is in search of a friend. In the natural course of events the little boy either brings home or asks his mother if he can bring home animal after animal for a pet. Thus the book's title, "Can I Keep Him?" His mother's responses are typical, but the translation of her responses in her son's head (shown in picures also done by Kellogg) are hilarious!

A definite hit with children and adults alike!

Give it a try.

Definitely 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Children love this book!, February 14, 2000
By A Customer
Arnold wants a pet and his imagination is off and running. Arnold's mother guides him gently in the right direction, but not before Arnold comes up with some wildly inappropriate choices. Steven Kellogg's illustrations are delicious. This is one of my children's favorite books. Now that they are older, they buy this book for every little kid they can think of. Don't miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting for kids & adults! , August 1, 2005
By Becky Wreyford (Junction, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the kind of book with humor, imagination, and gorgeous artwork that both kids & adults will love & remember. I bought this one for my grandson to be born in 2 months, because I remember how much his mother loved it. I read it many times to her & then she read it to me & her little brother. Truly the kind of book that lives on in your heart and sparks a love of reading in children.
