Reach for this book when your child starts begging for a pet or consistently brings home 'treasures' from the backyard that aren't quite house-friendly. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to validate a child's adventurous spirit while gently introducing the concept of household boundaries and the logistical reality of caring for animals. In this whimsical story, a young girl tries to convince her father that an octopus followed her home and should stay. Her father responds with a humorous trip down memory lane, reminding her of the chaos caused by the crocodiles, seals, and other wild visitors she has tried to adopt in the past. It is a lighthearted look at family negotiation that uses absurdist humor to bridge the gap between a child's imagination and a parent's practicality.
